Islamabad: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa has issued a stern warning, stating that “heads may roll” following an alleged attack on the residence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Gohar Ali Khan in Islamabad.

The incident came to light while Gohar was attending a hearing at the Supreme Court regarding the allotment of PTI’s bat symbol. He was informed that law enforcement had raided his house and assaulted his family members, leading to the confiscation of a computer.

Expressing concern over the situation, CJP Isa summoned the additional attorney general and directed an immediate inquiry. Gohar, visibly distressed, later informed the court about the attack, emphasizing that his family members, including sons and nephews, had been beaten.

The Islamabad police claimed that they received information about a house search related to wanted criminals, but upon realizing it was Gohar’s residence, they retreated. The police insisted it was a routine operation with no violence or document seizure.
