Islamabad police have claimed to have arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill’s driver’s brother-in-law and his wife during a raid in Islamabad late Wednesday.
Police said they are now looking for Izhar, the driver of the arrested PTI stalwart.
Islamabad police said they will extend the scope of the investigation to other provinces and vowed to punish those involved in destroying crucial evidence.
According to the first information report (FIR) registered with Kohsar Police Station, the police claimed that during the course of interrogation, Shahbaz Gill had told them that he had handed over his cell phone to his driver, Izhar, when he was arrested on Tuesday.
The FIR notes that when the police party reached the residence of Izhar’s in-laws, where he has been staying, Izhar and his family attacked the police officials.
