ISLAMABAD: A local magistrate reached Imran Khan’s residence this afternoon to formally put him under house arrest as security personnel including Frontier Constabulary had already sealed all roads leading to his Bani Gala house.
The magistrate, who was surrounded by charged PTI supporters, made efforts to enter Khan’s residence to formally put the PTI chief into house detention; however, he was not allowed in.
Source said PTI’ Oan Chaudhry received the judicial letter, but its contents were not immediately known.
Some PTI leaders said Khan has been detained in the house where other party workers and leaders were also present.
However, PTI leader Jahangir Khan Tareen declined the report saying the government unlawfully restricted Imran Khan’s movements. Nothing has been said in the letter to house-arrest Imran Khan, he added.
Reacting to massive containerization of Islamabad, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Friday said the government has committed contempt of court by flouting judicial orders passed by Islamabad High Court (IHC) yesterday and today.
The PTI sources said Imran Khan will address a press conference this evening. The PTI leaders also demanded to lift barricades from all roads. –SAMAA
