PTI senior leader Kamran Bangash arrested from Tank

PESHAWAR. Former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister and PTI senior leader Kamran Bangash was arrested in Tank by the police on Tuesday.

Kamran Bangash has been arrested from Dera Ismail, confirmed DPO Tank, Iftikhar Shah.

A case has been registered against Kamran Bangash in City Police Station, he asserted, adding that a case of 153A has been registered against Bangash.

The PTI leader will be produced in court on Wednesday (tomorrow), said Shah.

Kamran went into hiding after the May 9-10 violent protests as the police registered several cases against him and other PTI leaders.

On September 7 2023, the Peshawar High Court directed law-enforcement agencies, including police, not to take any “illegal” step against family members of former provincial minister and PTI leader Kamran Bangash.

A bench consisting of Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Justice Sahibzada Asadullah disposed of a petition filed by Kamran Bangash’s brother Afnan Bangash, who accused the police of conducting illegal raids on their house and harassing him and his family members.

It directed law-enforcement agencies, including police, to deal with the petitioner and his family members in accordance with the law.
