PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry was arrested outside his residence in Lahore in the early hours of Wednesday, according to his family.
“He was taken away from outside his house at 5:30am in four cars that did not have any number plates,” Faisal Chaudhry, the PTI leader’s brother, told republicpolicy.com over the phone.
He said that the family was unaware of Fawad’s location. “We are also not being given any details of the FIR (first information report) registered against him.”
Faisal termed his brother’s arrest “illegal” and asserted that he will fight this battle in court. Fawad’s arrest comes an hour after he, along with scores of party workers, gathered outside PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s Zaman Park residence in Lahore, claiming to avert the government’s alleged plan to arrest the party chief.
