geo.tv

Islamabad police have filed eight new cases against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders, including founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi. The charges include terrorism, assault on police, and abduction, following a recent protest by the party. The cases were registered at multiple police stations after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called for decisive action against protests. The PTI's demonstration, which began on November 24, ended abruptly due to clashes with security forces. This protest was part of PTI's ongoing campaign for Imran Khan's release from prison, where he has been held for over a year. The recent unrest involved road closures and confrontations between supporters and law enforcement.
