According to reports, the police have decided to arrest former law minister and PTI leader Raja Bashrat in connection with the attack on military installations. A case has been registered at the RA police station regarding the attack on the gate of the GHQ.
The violent protests by PTI supporters on May 9 caused chaos across Pakistan. The charged protesters entered cantonment areas in different cities, including Lahore, to hold demonstrations. However, the situation turned ugly when the protesters carrying sticks barged into Jinnah House – the residence of Lahore Corps Commander. Video footage on social media showed people looting things from the official residence, setting ablaze furniture, and vehicles. The reward money announced by the Punjab government is expected to encourage citizens to come forward and help bring the perpetrators to justice.
