Meanwhile,
In a midnight raid, the father of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Hammad Azhar, who has been in hiding for days to evade arrest in connection with the May 9 mayhem, has been apprehended from his house in Lahore.
This recent raid follows a series of unsuccessful attempts by the authorities to arrest the former federal minister during previous raids at his residence. Notably, he has consistently reaffirmed his support for party chairman Imran Khan, even as several of his colleagues have bid farewell to PTI.
According to a tweet posted by Hammad Azhar, he expressed distress over the arrest of his 82-year-old father, Mian Muhammad Azhar. The PTI leader further revealed that his father, who already suffers from multiple health conditions, was taken away by the police and unidentified individuals to an undisclosed location.
My father, Mian Muhammad Azhar, 82 years of age with multiple health conditions, has just been taken by police and some unknown people to an undisclosed location.

PTI Chief Imran Khan also condemned the action, terming the current regime devoid of any sense of morality and ethics.
