The Peshawar police have informed the deputy speaker of the provincial assembly about their plans to arrest MPA of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Haji Fazal Elahi for protesting outside the residence of Peshawar’s corps commander after the Nov 3 gun attack on former prime minister Imran Khan.
Mr Elahi and several other PTI leaders were booked for staging the protest against the ‘assassination attempt’ that wounded Mr Imran in the leg during a rally in Punjab province’s Wazirabad city.
The East Cantonment police station had registered an FIR under sections 341, 353 and 437 of the Pakistan Penal Code for “wrongful restraint, assault to deter public servant from discharge of his duty and committing mischief by causing damage to property.”
Though the FIR didn’t reveal who sought its registration against the MPA, a PTI source claimed that Chief Minister Mahmood Khan was not happy about the police’s intent to arrest the party’s lawmaker.
