LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Mehmood-ur-Rasheed was arrested in Lahore on Sunday, according to his secretary.
He stated that Mian Mehmood-ur-Rasheed was arrested on Saturday while on his way to court for a hearing.
The arrests were made in response to violent protests, burning, and damage by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf activists following Imran Khan’s imprisonment.
