Security measures have been intensified in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi following the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister. The arrest came after he was found guilty of “corrupt practices” in the Toshakhana case and sentenced to three years in prison by a court in Lahore.
In response to potential protests and unrest, the Federal Police has declared a high alert in Islamabad. Officers have been instructed to remain in their assigned areas, and increased security checks are being carried out across the federal capital. However, traffic flow remains unaffected, and citizens are urged to report any suspicious activities to the police helpline (15).
Rawalpindi Police are also on high alert, with special instructions to handle any possible protests from PTI supporters. Security has been bolstered in and around Adiala Jail, where the arrested PTI chairman is likely to be transferred after his arrest from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore.
Police authorities are closely monitoring the situation and are prepared to respond promptly to any developments. The main focus is to maintain peace and security in the region while upholding the rule of law.
