Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi revealed that 11 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) police officers and 120 Afghan nationals were among those arrested during the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protests in Islamabad.

Speaking alongside Punjab IG Dr. Usman Anwar, Naqvi explained that the protest, led by KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, turned violent, with protesters opening fire on police, injuring several officers.

Mohsin Naqvi stated that a total of 564 people were detained in the crackdown, including the 11 KP officers allegedly involved in the protest.

The minister emphasized that although some had hoped for casualties, no lives were lost. However, due to the firing by protesters, 75 Punjab police officers and 31 Islamabad officers were injured, with one in critical condition.

Naqvi claimed that the protesters intended to remain in Islamabad until October 17 to disrupt peace, but he praised the police for showing restraint throughout the situation.

He mentioned that, at first, the police believed the individuals were ordinary protesters, but it was later discovered that they were KP police officers. These officers were well-trained, armed, and using standard weapons.

Mohsin Naqvi added that legal action would be taken against those who organized the protest, including the armed protesters, as the situation escalated into violence.
