Overview
- Rawalpindi police dispersed a roughly 10-hour sit-in near Adiala Jail and briefly detained Aleema Khan, Dr Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi before releasing them near the Chakri Interchange.
- Authorities first cleared male supporters around midnight, then a women’s police unit took the sisters into custody and transferred them toward Chakri as remaining workers were dispersed.
- PTI shared videos and statements alleging the sisters were manhandled, with Noreen saying women officers grabbed her by the hair and forced her to the ground.
- The party said other leaders and workers, including KP minister Meena Khan Afridi and MNA Shahid Khattak, faced violence and were picked up during the operation, and local media reported police sprayed water on the road at the site.
- PTI framed the episode as part of a pattern of obstructing weekly family access to Imran Khan, and there was no immediate public response from the Punjab government or police.
