PTI protesters, police clash at D-Chowk amid downpour in Islamabad

Islamabad: Fresh clashes broke out between the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activists and Islamabad police at D-Chowk amid a downpour on Saturday.

As the heavy rainfall minimised the effects of tear gas, a large number of protesters moved towards D-Chowk, prompting police to detain several activists from Jinnah Avenue.

Both sides indulged in confrontations from morning as protesters pelted stones and retaliated against police actions. Earlier, demonstrators successfully removed obstacles to advance towards D-Chowk.
