Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, AML Chief and close ally of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, arrested by plainclothes individuals in Rawalpindi. His arrest is related to a case stemming from a PTI protest rally on May 10 in support of Imran Khan’s release.
In a video statement shared on the official X handle — formerly known as Twitter — of Sheikh Rashid, his nephew and former MNA Sheikh Rashid Shafique confirmed that the AML chief along with his brother, Sheikh Shakir, and a domestic help were taken into custody after Maghrib prayer by officials of Punjab police and plain-clothes men.
He emphasized that police had already stated Rashid was not a wanted individual. Shafique called for their appearance in court and pledged to pursue their legal rights
