The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has accused Punjab police of arresting additional members of Imran Khan’s family, including his two sisters — Dr Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi. This follows the detention of Aleema Khan, Imran’s sister, who was detained for 30 days by the deputy commissioner of Lahore.
