Sit-in outside Adiala Jail: Case registered against IK’s sisters, party workers

RAWALPINDI: Police on Wednesday registered another case against the incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman Imran Khan’s sisters and party workers under terrorism and other charges, after staging sit-in outside Adiala Jail.

Police registered a first information report (FIR) against Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi, Qasim Khan, Aliya Hamza, PTI secretary general Salman Akram Raja, Naeem Panjotha, and 400 workers at Police Station Saddar Beroni.

The case also invokes Section 120 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) for allegedly planning a criminal conspiracy against the state, attacking police personnel, and violating Section 144.

Police also arrested 14 PTI workers after the sit-in was dispersed on Wednesday early morning.

Last night, Khan’s sisters, along with hundreds of PTI supporters, staged a sit-in outside Factory Naka after authorities denied them from meet the former prime minister. Khan’s sisters ended their sit-in after the use of water cannons by the law enforcement authorities.
