LAHORE: The Investigation Police of Islam Pura Police Station have arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist Sanam Javed in connection with a case registered against her at the same station.
According to the official Citizen Feedback report (Serial No. 028300-LHR-ISP), Sanam Javed was wanted in case number 486/25, registered under multiple sections including 147, 149, 188, 290, 291, and 341 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
The preliminary incident report states that on February 8, 2025, at around 8:50 PM, a police team, led by Sub-Inspector Zahid Mahmood, responded to information about a protest rally led by PTI members Aaliya Hamza, Sanam Javed, Nazia Baloch, and Intizar Hussain Panjotha near Secretariat Chowk, approximately two kilometers east of the Islam Pura Police Station.
The rally, comprising 30 to 35 individuals, allegedly blocked the main road outside Aiwan-e-Adl, chanted provocative and anti-state slogans, and violated Section 144, which was imposed in Lahore at the time. Despite warnings from the police, the protesters resisted, leading to the dispersal of the crowd by additional police personnel.
Following the incident, an FIR was lodged, and the case was handed over to the Investigation Wing for further proceedings. Sanam Javed’s arrest has been made in accordance with the ongoing investigations related to this case.
