Two more cases have registered against the former prime minister in Islamabad and Quetta on Monday. The party said the number of cases has reached 76.

A case has been registered against 150 people including the PTI chairman for threatening police officials who had arrived to arrest the former prime minister from his Zaman Park residence.

The case was registered on the complaint of the Station House Officer (SHO) at Secretariat Police Station in Islamabad.

In the First Information Report (FIR), the SHO stated said a team from Islamabad Police reached outside Zaman Park to arrest PTI chief, when PTI workers carrying batons surrounded police officials and threatened them with serious consequences.

The SHO accused Imran Khan of ‘planning the entire scene’, saying that the mob warned the police officials against arresting the former prime minister.

Police arrived at Zaman Park with court summons but were met by a large crowd of party supporters who informed police that Imran Khan was not present.

Police eventually left the residence later in the day. PTI leader Shibli Faraz received the summons and informed the police that Imran Khan was not there but they will abide by the orders.

Another case was registered in Quetta on the complaint of a citizen named Abdul Khalil Karak at Bijli road police station against Imran Khan’s recent speech.

The PTI chairman was booked under Pakistan Penal Code – Section 505 [Statements conducing to public mischief], Section 124-A [Sedition] and Section 153-A [Promoting enmity between different groups].
