LAHORE:
The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday dismissed a petition, with a cost of Rs2,00,000, that sought the formation of a joint investigation team against the arrest of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Hafiz Saad Rizvi.
The petitioner, advocate Imran Javed Qureshi, representing a law firm Legal Awareness and Protection Center (LAPC), had prayed to the court that a JIT be formed against the arrest in broad daylight.
The complainant had sought an answer as to why police made video clips of the arrest, with the same going viral on social media. Why, he asked, the followers of TLP were incited through such clips, causing them to block the roads. The blockages perturbed the commoners, he maintained.
