  "summary": "Hammad Azhar's mother has filed a habeas corpus petition in the Lahore High Court (LHC) seeking the recovery of her son, who is allegedly in police custody. The petition, filed by Ishrat Azhar through Barrister Abuzar Salman Niazi, names several police officers as respondents and alleges that Hammad was arrested in connection with a case related to the May 9, 2023 riots. The petition raises concerns about his safety and demands that the court direct the respondents to produce Azhar before the court and disclose the lawful basis of his arrest and detention. PTI, the political party to which Hammad belongs, has claimed that he was arrested and termed it an act of political vengeance and fascism.",
