LAHORE: The prime suspect in the attack on the Lahore corps commander’s house, Khadija Shah, will be presented before an anti-terrorism court (ATC) today, police told media.
Khadija Shah was transferred to a women’s police station after she was arrested on Tuesday. Sources, privy to the case, shared that the fashion designer would be investigated by Superintendent of Police (SP) Anush Masood.
A day earlier, the Punjab Police had confirmed her arrest.
Despite her husband and other family members being arrested, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporter did not surrender herself to the authorities even after claiming that she would present herself before them.
The Corps Commander House or Jinnah House was attacked on May 9 when PTI stormed and burned it down following party chairman Imran Khan’s arrest in the £190m settlement case.
In an over 16 minutes-long audio message released on Sunday, Shah admitted that she was a PTI supporter and was part of the protest outside the Lahore Corps Commander’s House but denied committing any wrongdoing, including inciting people to violence.
Shah is the daughter of Dr Salman Shah who was a member of former president Parvez Musharraf’s finance team and had also served as an adviser in the Punjab government during the Usman Buzdar government.
She is also the granddaughter of a former army chief.
