Aleema Khan, sister of ex-PM Imran Khan, was detained under the MPO in Lahore on September 20. The Lahore Deputy Commissioner ordered her detention for 30 days, citing a report that she and her associate, Muhammad Ameer, were "prejudicial to public safety and maintenance of public order." The detention came amid reports of a crackdown on the PTI ahead of its planned September 27 protest in Islamabad, which demanded Imran Khan's release from jail.
Noreen Niazi, Aleema's sister, addressed a press conference, claiming her sister was arrested along with her driver after leaving their residence. Police sources confirmed her detention at Kot Lakhpat jail. The DC's order mentioned multiple cases registered against the pair, alleging they had been involved in roadblocks and protests on May 9, 2023.
PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan condemned the arrest, calling it a "cowardly" attempt to provoke violence. Opposition alliance Tehreek-i-Tahafuz-Ayin-i-Pakistan (TTAP) also condemned the arrest, calling it "state oppression and political revenge."
