Activists of Hizbul Tehrir, a banned ooutfit, are wanted by the police for spreading anti-state propaganda. Earlier, police arrested two Hizbul Tahrir activists Abdul Waheed and Bilal Saleem for publishing anti-state pamphlets using two printing presses in Badamibagh. Acting on their information, police arrested Hakeem Ihsan Jigranvi's younger brother Hakeem Yasir Rehman Jigranvi from Gulberg on Wednesday. Another team raided Saad Jigranvi's residence but the house was empty. Yasir Jigranvi's wife Naila Yasir requested a district court session judge to issue production orders for her husband but a bailiff was unable to find him. A man testified that the police was trying to destroy evidence of Yasir's illegal detention and torture. He said Yasir had been shifted several times and was last seen at Chung Investigation Cell. |
