In a surprise move, Fawad Chaudhry was arrested outside his residence in Lahore in the early hours of Wednesday. Islamabad police confirmed the arrest, stating that Fawad Chaudhry tried to “incite violence against a constitutional institution” and “inflame the sentiments of the people”.
The PTI leader has been booked under sections 153-A (promotion of enmity between groups), 506 (criminal intimidation), 505 (statement conducing to public mischief), and 124-A (sedition) of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Fawad Chaudhry was presented before the court by the Islamabad Police in tight security to seek a transitory remand to transfer the former federal minister to the federal capital. A local court in Lahore ordered to carry out a medical examination of the PTI leader and allowed police to take him to Islamabad.
