According to a notice from the office of Lahore’s deputy inspector general (DIG) of police (investigation), the PTI chief was required to attend the DIG’s office at 4pm to join the investigation.
On May 9, protesters allegedly belonging to the PTI, vandalized public and state properties and even attacked the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi and the Lahore corps commander’s residence.
The attack occurred hours after the paramilitary Rangers arrested PTI chief Imran Khan in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case on the orders of the National Accountability Bureau, from the Islamabad High Court premises.
The rioting was followed by a crackdown against the former ruling party leaders and workers that still continues.
The army termed the events of May 9 a “dark chapter” and announced its intent to try the protesters under relevant laws, including two military laws — the Pakistan Army Act and Official Secrets Act.
