Imran Khan’s focal person Hassaan Niazi arrested outside Islamabad ATC. Hassaan Niazi, the focal person of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan on legal affairs, was arrested Monday outside an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad, police officials told Geo News.<\/p>\n
Niazi has been arrested for resisting at a police checkpost, the police said.<\/p>\n
Advocate Faisal Chaudhry has filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) for the release of the PTI leader. The petition stated that “police abducted Hasaan Niazi from the premises of Judical Complex after he obtained bail in a case.”<\/p>\n
Niazi was arrested after his appearance at the ATC where hearing of cases registered \u2014 in the Raman police station in Islamabad \u2014 against PTI leaders and workers was being held.<\/p>\n
ATC judge Raja Jawad Abbas was hearing the cases.<\/p>\n
The party\u2019s leaders present at the court included Shibli Faraz, Omar Ayub, Raja Khurram, Aamir Mehmood Kiani, and Farrukh Habib, among others.<\/p>\n
All of the aforementioned leaders as well as the party\u2019s workers have been booked under terrorism charges for the violence that erupted outside the judicial complex on Saturday where Khan appeared to have his non-bailable arrest warrants in the Toshakhana case cancelled.<\/p>\n
PTI workers, on Saturday, clashed with police and caused damage to public property. They also set fire to 10 police motorcycles outside the judicial complex and overturned a police officer’s car.<\/p>\n
