Over 100 PTI workers arrested
Lahore, Nov 12: Over 100 more workers of jailed prime minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party have been arrested in Pakistan’s Punjab province capital Lahore in connection with attacks on military installations in May, police said on Sunday. “We have arrested 105 PTI workers wanted in the attacks on Lahore Corps Commander House and Askari Tower (allegedly owned by the son of former army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa) in different parts of the city on Saturday,” a Lahore police statement said on Sunday. It said a crackdown has been launched against around 1,000 PTI workers who still managed to escape the arrest in connection with the May 9 attacks. On May 9, violent protests erupted after the arrest of Khan by paramilitary Rangers from the premises of the Islamabad High Court. (PTI)
