PTI’s Aleema Khan detained under MPO ahead of Sept 27 protest

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan's sister, Aleema Khan, has been detained under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance for 30 days. The arrest, made on the recommendation of Lahore police and intelligence officials, comes amid concerns that the two may pose a threat to public safety and order.
