Law enforcement in Pakistan has intensified its crackdown on Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) activists following protests demanding the release of Imran Khan. Numerous party leaders and supporters have been arrested across Punjab, facing various charges including vandalism and incitement. In Bahawalnagar, 95 PTI workers were booked for blocking roads and attacking police vehicles. Despite heightened security, many activists continue to attempt to reach Islamabad for further protests.
