Islamabad police files ‘terrorism charges’ on PTI Chairman Imran Khan

Islamabad police registered a case of terrorism against Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan.

On Saturday, a case against 100 people including former prime minister Imran Khan, Asad Umar, and Ali Nawaz has been registered in a police complaint at Sanjgani police station, in which 10 provisions including terrorism have been added.

The capital police in Islamabad also detained a PTI MNA and his two security guards after an alleged shooting incident outside the ECP headquarters.

Police and PTI workers continued to fight in Faizabad, which separates Punjab from the federal region. Thick clouds of tear gas engulfed the intersection.

According to the FIR, police personnel were dispatched to Faizabad in an official vehicle on Thursday after learning that the PTI leader might face repercussions. They were there to preserve security, law, and order.

A massive PTI gathering with between 1,000 and 1,200 participants carrying sticks and rods began advancing toward Faizabad at about 8 p.m. on Friday, according to the FIR.

Amir Kiani, Wasiq Qayyum Abbasi, Faisal Javed Khan, Raja Rashid Hafez, Umer Tanveer Butt, Rashid Naseem Abbasi, and Raja Majid are among the PTI leaders named in the criminal complaint as allegedly leading the large group that was told over a loudspeaker to disperse right away because the gathering was illegal.
