PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat arrested outside LHC under MPO 3

The Elite Force was called in to assist police in case of any resistance

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Police on Thursday arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Advocate Sher Afzal Marwat. 

He was taken into custody from outside the Lahore High Court under MPO (Maintenance of Pubic Order) 3.

The Elite Force was called in to assist police in case of any resistance. 

According to police sources, Advocate Marwat was shifted to the Mozang police station. 

Advocate Marwat attended a meeting and addressed lawyers and also talked to media.  

Later, the PTI reacted to the brutal police action and called it abduction just outside court. In several tweets, the party leaders described the “abduction as shameful”. 

Abduction of lawyers from the premises of LHC is absolutely shameful and represents once again the respect for courts in the eyes of those in power. Caretaker government is crossing all limits of fascism.

PTI Chairman Gohar Khan spoke to media persons outside the Election Commission of Pakistan in Islamabad and condemned police for Marwat’s arrest. He said such actions would affect free and fair elections.
