LAHORE: The Lahore police have registered a case against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur under 13 provisions including the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) for resorting to violence near Sialkot Interchange.
The Imran Khan-founded party held a public rally in Lahore, which came to an abrupt end after police stormed the stage, turning off the microphone and lights, forcing PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and other party leaders to leave.
The police and district administration swung into action after the PTI rally exceeded the 6pm deadline specified in the no-objection certificate (NOC).
‘Firebrand’ Gandapur, who was leading a convoy from KP, failed to arrive at the venue by the time of the deadline’s expiry. However, he managed to reach the venue and briefly address the party workers and supporters.
His convoy reportedly includes rescue 1122 ambulances and heavy machinery to remove any hurdles on their way.
Later, videos emerged on social media showing the KP chief minister breaking the window of a truck with his rifle.
Subsequently, a first information report (FIR) was registered at Manawa Police Station with Gandapur being charged under 13 provisions, including attempted murder.
The FIR stated that the chief executive was leading an armed mob at Sialkot Interchange, claiming that the mob attempted to set the vehicles on fire, parked at the toll plaza, on orders of the politician.
