Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader and former information minister Fawad Chaudhry was arrested from his residence by the Islamabad police in the wee hours of Wednesday.
His sudden arrest angered leaders of the PTI, including Hammad Azhar, Farrukh Habib, as they warned of launching countrywide protests if the location of Mr Chaudhry was not disclosed as they claimed that details about his arrest were not being shared.
Now, it has surfaced that the former information minister was arrested in a case registered by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Secretary Umar Hameed at the Kohsar Police Station of the capital city.
The PTI leader, according to the First Information Report (FIR), has been booked under sections 153A, 506 and 124 A of the Penal Code of Pakistan for allegedly threatening the ECP and its members in a televised interview on Tuesday.
The FIR carries the excerpt of the former MNA’s statement where in he alleged that the election commission had become a “Munshi” as the election commissioner signed the things like a clerk after they were sent to him by the government.
Mr Chaudhry said those who will be involved in injustice to the PTI will be pursued until they are punished. He said people should pursue the elements, who are deceiving public, to their houses. Expressing reservations on the appointments of some officials in ECP Punjab ahead of elections, he said if these appointments were not rolled back, “we warn that the election commission and its members will have to payback”.
