Police late on Tuesday briefly detained Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s sisters — Aleema Khan, Noreen Khan Niazi, and Uzma Khanum — after they refused to end their sit-in near Central Jail Rawalpindi on Adiala road.
During the crackdown against the PTI’s sit-in at Gorakhpur picket, the police also took several activists of the former ruling party. Later, the police released Khan’s sister near Chakri Interchange.
The sisters of the incarcerated PTI founder, along with dozens of party workers, staged a sit-in on Adiala Road after being denied permission to meet him and his wife, Bushra Bibi.
Meanwhile, the police asked Khan’s sister to clear the road, but the talks failed, and Aleema refused to call off the sit-in. After that, police sprayed water on the road and detained around 8 to 10 PTI activists, including Khan’s sisters.
Talking to journalists after being released, Aleema said that her sister Noreen was dragged on the road by the women police personnel.
