Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi has been arrested from his residence in Islamabad.
According to the media reports, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) executed the arrest within the jurisdiction of his Islamabad residence. This arrest came as the ongoing investigation into the cryptic communication that PTI claims contained a perceived threat from the United States aimed at toppling Imran Khan from his position of power.
PTI, in an official statement, has confirmed Qureshi’s arrest at his residence, detailing that he is currently en route to the FIA headquarters situated in the heart of the federal capital.
It is pertinent to mention here that this arrest unfolded shortly after Qureshi had convened a press conference where he refuted rumors of internal discord among party leaders vying for leadership in the absence of the incarcerated party head, Imran Khan.
Earlier, PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s lawyer Sher Afzal Khan Marwat said on Wednesday that Islamabad Police kidnapped former PTI lawmaker Shandana Gulzar Khan at gunpoint.
In a tweet, Marwat said that Shandana Gulzar was ‘abducted at gunpoint’ by Islamabad Police at 5pm on Wednesday. “Her mother has confirmed this to me, who is an eyewitness to the ghastly incident,” he said.
