ISLAMABAD – Police in the federal capital detained PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s nephew and his focal person Hassan Khan Niazi from outside the Judicial Complex on Monday.

Niazi was apprehended from G-11 near Judicial Complex in a case related to clashes between Islamabad police and PTI workers during the court appearance of Imran Khan.

The nephew of the former premier was reportedly present at the site when the former prime minister arrived at the Federal Judicial Complex to attend a hearing in the Toshakhana case.

ICT also shared the development in a social media post, confirming that 198 PTI protesters involved in arson and vandalism were arrested, while raids were being conducted to apprehend others.

Islamabad Police claimed that 58 officers were injured in the brutal clashes in which several police vehicles were burnt, and vandalised.

A tweet shared PTI handle denounced the detention, and called it the peak of police brutality. It called on the chief justice to take notice of this blatant violation of laws.
