PTI leader Seemabia Tahir arrested in May 9 violence case

Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) woman leader Seemabia Tahir Satti arrested by police for her alleged involvement in May 9 riots.

According to information provided by the police spokesperson, police detained PTI leader Seemabia Tahir Satti in relation to the violence on May 9.

She was allegedly detained in response to claims made by SAPM Attaullah Tarar, according to PTI.

He had said that Seemabia Tahir Satti was accused of training to bring PTI workers in lawyers’ uniform to the court.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former prime minister had already been granted pre-arrest bail in two charges relating to the May 9 incidents, in which military institutions, including General Headquarters (GHQ), were attacked.

The court determined that the prosecution must show that PTI chairman Imran Khan, the defendant, provoked the violence, which broke out after he was detained in connection with a 190-million-pound case.

Violent clashes broke out across Pakistan after the former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief was arrested at the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on May 9.

The protests were held in remote and major cities of Balochistan, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Islamabad summoning the armed forces to ensure law and order.

Army installations and Corps Commander’s house in Lahore came under attack during a protest by PTI workers. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Operations Ali Nasir Rizvi sustained severe injuries while clearing.
