Police have surrounded Zaman Park in Lahore as the government's 24-hour deadline for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party to surrender approximately 30-40 suspects allegedly involved in the May 9 violence has expired. Reports suggest that law enforcement agencies have cordoned off the residence of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is the leader of the PTI.
Heavy Police Presence
Source has stated that there is a significant police presence around Imran Khan's residence, with all roads leading to Zaman Park closed off to traffic. Additionally, PTI worker camps outside the park have been vacated. These road closures have resulted in transportation difficulties for citizens, and the police have even closed the Dharampura Bridge, deploying a heavy police contingent to the area.
Arrests Imminent
Sources indicate that arrests will commence after receiving approval from the Punjab government, and the authorities plan to employ specific officers for this operation.
PTI Calls for Media Coverage
With the deadline expired, the official Twitter account of PTI invited the media to cover the "search operation order given by illegal caretaker government." Imran Khan, in a tweet, urged the media to come to Zaman Park to witness the reality of the search operation, pointing out that the plans were revealed by representatives of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) on live TV the previous day.
