PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – A sessions court on Monday declared Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shaukat Yousafzai a proclaimed offender. 

A case under section 109 of PPC had been registered by the Shangla police against the provincial senior vice president of the party on Nov 21. 

The Shangla police reached Peshawar during intra-party elections on Dec 2 to arrest him, but Yousafzai did not turn up. Police have added more sections to the FIR registered against him. 

It may be recalled that the former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa information minister was offloaded from a flight to Saudi Arabia on Nov 21.

He was kept in custody by the airport authorities for around two hours and released after the plane departed. 

Earlier in July, he was arrested along with other PTI leaders by the Shangla police under section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance. However, he was later release.
