SAHIWAL: Nineteen PTI political activists were released from prison on Sunday following a Lahore High Court order. The detainees, including office-bearers and workers, had been held under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) since September 13. They were arrested on the deputy commissioner's orders and detained at Central Jail Sahiwal.
However, Justice Waheed Khan of the Multan Bench of the Lahore High Court ruled that their detention was unlawful and ordered their release. The court's decision involved Agha Qamar Abbas, Shoaib Khan Baloch, Tanveer Hussain, Muhammad Azhar, Javed Iqbal, and Mansoor Iftikhar Hashmi. Additionally, the Crime Control Department arrested two former PTI office-bearers, Muhammad Nadeem Sargana and Shaban Chauhan, on Sunday.
They were taken into custody after a 30-bore illegal pistol was found in Chauhan's possession and six bullets were discovered in Sargana's pocket. The CCD Police Station Sahiwal registered a case based on an Inspector's complaint.
