ISLAMABAD – Police in the federal capital held the wife of Shahbaz Gill’s driver on charges of ‘rioting and assault on law enforcers’ during a raid at the driver’s home.

Izhar accompanied PTI leader Shahbaz Gill at the time of his arrest at Banigala Chowk in Islamabad and claimed he had been subjected to violence.
This is absolutely unfair. Arresting the wife of Shahbaz Gill’s driver is unethical and wrong at every level. Pti fans would have celebrated this if it was about PML-N, but PML-N supporters are against this illogical arrest. Govt should reconsider this decision! @RanaSanaullahPK pic.twitter.com/LIwzK3IahD
