Captain Safdar was arrested at a private hotel in Karachi early morning.

KARACHI (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawyers have on Monday mentioned wrong FIR number in the vakalatnama (power of attorney) submitted after Captain (retd) Safdar’s arrest.

According to details, the vakalatnama was submitted immediately after the PML-N leader was arrested at a private hotel in Karachi early morning but the counsels wrote wrong FIR number in haste.

The number of the FIR that was lodged at the Brigade Police Station is 591 whereas the number mentioned in PML-N’s vakalatnama is 519.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders had filed a complaint against Maryam Nawaz and Captain (retd) Safdar among 200 PML-N workers at the Brigade Police Station in Karachi for chanting slogans at the Mazar-e-Quaid.

The case had been registered on Section 6 (convening of meetings or processions at the mausoleum), Section 8 (entry into mausoleum with weapon) and Section 10 (penalty for contravention of provisions) of The Quaid-i-Azam’s Mazar (Protection and Maintenance) Ordinance, 1971.
