ISLAMABAD: In a case concerning violence and vandalism during the PTI’s 2022 “Azadi March,” a district and sessions court in Islamabad issued an arrest warrant for former Sindh governor Imran Ismail on Monday.
Ismail, who left the PTI in May 2023, was named in a violence case filed at the Barakahu Police Station in Islamabad.
The warrant was issued by Judicial Magistrate Mubashir Hassan Chishti, who also ordered Ismail to be taken into custody and brought before the court.
Ismail did not show up in court for the case, therefore the warrant was issued.
Imran Khan led the “Azadi March,” which was conducted in multiple Pakistani cities in November 2022 with the participation of other PTI officials and supporters. Khan’s declaration to disband the assembly marked the end of the march.
