Police arrested PTI parliamentary leader Ali Imtiaz Warraich who was held for two hours before being released. Additionally, police raided the home of PTI leader Aliya Hamza late at night. Aliya Hamza stated that despite being imprisoned for 16 months, police conducted a raid on her house at midnight with the involvement of three police stations.
