Punjab police have registered a case against Parvez Elahi, former chief minister and a key ally of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan, on terror charges following a late-night raid on his house in Lahore to arrest him in a corruption case.
The police have claimed that they were “attacked with stones, batons, and petrol” when they were trying to arrest the PTI leader last night in a corruption case.
The case has been registered against 50 individuals, including the former chief minister, in Lahore’s Ghalib Market police station under Section 7 of Anti-Terrorism Act 1997. 13 other charges have also been included in a First Information Report (FIR) which are related to attempted murder, rioting and assault on government officials, Dawn reported.
Last night, the raiding team, which included officials of Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) and police, had forcefully entered the former Punjab chief minister’s residence. The law enforcers used an armoured vehicle to break open the main gate and arrested 12 people, mostly his employees, from the house. Female police officers had also taken some women into custody.
The raiding teams remained on the premises of the former CM’s residence for more than three hours, but could not find him.
They had also tried to force their entry into the adjoining residence of Pakistan Muslim League-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, but they were resisted by Shujaat’s sons.
