PTI condemns the operation as a politically timed abduction, countering police claims that the detentions stem from May 9 riot investigations.

Overview

  • Police confirmed the arrest of Shahrez Khan in Lahore and said he was wanted in May 9, 2023 cases tied to attacks on state and military sites.
  • An anti-terrorism court in Lahore granted eight days of physical remand for Shahrez, with investigators citing the Jinnah House attack case.
  • PTI and family members said plainclothes men raided Aleema Khan’s home, beat staff, harassed relatives, and took Shahrez in front of his young daughters.
  • A second nephew, Shershah Khan, was arrested later near the residence after attending Shahrez’s court hearing, according to police and party accounts.
  • PTI reported that Shahrez and his wife were offloaded from a Lahore flight earlier this week, and the party links the arrests to the Supreme Court’s recent bail decision for Imran Khan.
