Lahore’s police confirmed on Friday that another son of Aleem Khan, sister of the founder of PTI, Imran Khan, was arrested from his Lahore residence, a day after his brother was arrested in relation to the disturbances of May 9.
The attached investigation of the Lahore Police confirmed Dawn.com That Sherhah Khan, similar to his brother Shahrez Khan, was also arrested today for his participation in the May 9 riots.
Aleema’s lawyer, lawyer Rana Mudassir Umar, said “Shershah was taken from her home after her appearance in an anti -terrorism court in Lahore in relation to her brother’s case.”
The PTI, in an X publication, described the incident as a “kidnapping” and regretted that “the rule of law has been replaced by the law of the jungle.”
The measure occurs a day after PTI announced that men in plains had “kidnapped” the son of Aleema Khanum of his residence. The Lahore police later announced that Shahrez had been arrested in relation to a case of May 9.
On May 9, 2023, PTI supporters, who protested the arrest of Imran, organized violent protests throughout the country, destroying military facilities and state buildings, while attacked the residence of the commander of Lahore’s body. After the riots, thousands of protesters, including party leaders, were arrested.
Lahore ATC judge sends Shahrez to a physical return of 8 days
An Lahore anti -terrorism court sent the Shahrez’s nephew to a physical prison of eight days after he was arrested a day before in relation to a case of May 9.
The suspect was presented in an anti -terrorism court in Lahore today, where the hearing was chaired by Judge Manzar Ali Gul.
The investigative officer told the judge that Shahrez was arrested in relation to the attack of the Jinnah House on May 9. He added that the suspect was first appointed in the case on September 23 in 2023, in complementary statements.
To this, Shahrez’s lawyer, the general secretary of PTI, Salman Akram Raja, claimed that his client had never been appointed in the case, qualifying the arrest in an act of “harassment.”
He questioned why he had never been arrested before, despite being in the country for 27 months. The legal advisor described the measure as “reaction to the approval of Imran bail supplications.”
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court accepted Imran’s bail requests in eight cases related to the disturbances of May 9. The founder of PTI has been imprisoned in the Adiala prison since August 2023 in cases related to the sale of state gifts and a case of graft of £ 190 million, while facing the pending judgments related to the disturbances of May 9.
The investigation officer submitted a request in the Court for a 30 -day physical return for police investigation; However, the court approved only eight days and ordered the police to present
Raja, speaking with the media outside the court, said Shahrez was “falsely involved.” He promised to fight the case, saying: “We will go to all courts.”
“This is a message for the nation that there is no law in this country,” he said, added that “the cases are being manufactured.”
Questioning the validity of the case, Raja claimed that during the events of May 9, Shahrez was in Chitral.
“This is crazy and well thought out,” he added. “We have to be with the founder of PTI and his family.”
