Authorities have tightened security in the area, and further updates are expected as the investigation proceeds.

Earlier in the day, five judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) have individually filed appeals in the Supreme Court, contesting various actions and powers of Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar.

In their constitutional petitions, the judges argued that a judge cannot be barred from work by the High Court; only Article 209 of the Constitution allows such action.

Alongside filing appeals against decisions against them, Justices Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri, Babar Sattar, Saman Rafat, Sardar Ejaz Ishaq, and Mohsin Akhtar Kayani appeared at the Supreme Court, completed biometric verification, and submitted their appeals.
