LAHORE – The Punjab Police on Thursday night booked Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Farrukh Habib and other party workers under robbery charges and for allegedly attacking law enforcement personnel to get senior leader Fawad Chaudhry released.

The FIR was lodged on the complaint of Islamabad police official Adeel Shaukat with the Ferozewala police station in Sheikhupura under Sections 148, 149, 186, 225, 341, 353 and 395 of the PPC.

As per the FIR, Habib and other armed suspects attacked police officers near Kala Shah Kaku when they were taking PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry to Islamabad after his arrest.
