Pakistan Targets TLP Leadership After Deadly Unrest

Courts impose a firm timeline for a KP chief minister’s swearing-in, signaling active judicial oversight of political and legal processes.

Overview

  • Police report an SHO was shot dead and 48 security personnel were injured as TLP protests in Mureedke turned violent with arson and attacks on vehicles.
  • Murder and terrorism cases have been registered naming Saad Rizvi, Ins Rizvi and roughly 3,500 others, with multiple activists arrested and remanded.
  • Law-enforcement agencies say they have located Saad and Ins Rizvi and indicate their arrests are expected soon.
  • A raid on Saad Rizvi’s residence recovered about Rs114.4 million in cash, gold valued over Rs63.4 million and foreign currency, as the FIA opened money‑laundering and asset probes and froze accounts.
