Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Rawalpindi leaders, who volunteered their arrest under the party’s ‘Jail Bharo Tehreek’, were transferred to Shahpur jail from Adiala.
Zulfi Bukhari, Sadaqat Abbasi, Fayazul Hassan Chohan, Ijaz Khan Jazi, Latafat Abbasi, and Chaudhry Sajid, according to sources, were sent to Shahpur jail.
Moreover, the police transferred 41 PTI activists from Adiala prison to Hafizabad prison.
More than 200 PTI activists will voluntarily hand themselves into police in Multan today as part of the court arrest drive, which has already visited Lahore, Peshawar, and Rawalpindi.

The ‘court arrest’ drive was launched in protest over “violations of the fundamental rights”, “abuse of the Constitution”, “unprecedented inflation” and “economic meltdown”.
LHC irked by court arrest drive
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which had voluntarily turned itself in for detention, was chastised by the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday for “overburdening” the judicial system.
Ijaz Chaudhry, Zain Qureshi, and others made requests to Justice Shahram for the release of party officials who had voluntarily turned themselves into law enforcement agents as part of their Prison Bharo Tehreek.
When PTI leaders voluntarily turned themselves up to be arrested, the LHC judge questioned what do you want from us at the beginning of the session.
“PTI leaders voluntarily surrendered and now you are here to put pressure on the court,” Justice Shahram Sarwar remarked.
