PTI claims supporters are missing after protests as Rawalpindi police deny use of live fire

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has released a list of supporters it claims are missing following recent protests in Islamabad. The party alleges that many were arrested or unaccounted for after a crackdown by security forces, which the Rawalpindi police deny involved any use of live fire. The Rawalpindi police reported no injuries among protesters, stating that their personnel faced violence from demonstrators. They confirmed that 170 police officers were injured during the protests, with some in critical condition, and emphasized that they did not return fire. The situation escalated over three days of protests, resulting in at least six deaths, including police and Rangers personnel. The PTI claims the death toll is higher, with ongoing disputes between the party and the government regarding the events that unfolded.
