PTI leader Hassaan Khan Niazi was arrested in Abbottabad in the wee hours of Monday, his father claimed, however, no official confirmation has so far been released on the alleged arrest of the former prime minister’s nephew.
Hassan is accused of being involved in the attack on Jinnah House (Lahore Corps Commanders House) in Lahore.
میرا بیٹا حسان خان ایبٹ آباد سے گرفتار کر لیا گیا ہے، مجھے امید ہے قانونی تقاضے پورے کئیے جائیں گے اور قانون سے تجاوز نہیں کیا جائے گا

Sources say Hassan Niazi, who is a lawyer by profession, was picked up from his friend’s place after days of hiding in order to avoid arrest. He had moved there a couple of days ago, sources add.
“I hope the legal requirements will be met and the law will not be violated,” Hafeezullah Khan Niazi said in a social media post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Hassaan was notified as the focal person on legal affairs to the chairman/party on June 7, 2022. He was appointed under a well-conceived strategy to deal with the dictatorial tactics and unconstitutional and undemocratic steps of the “imported” government, according to the party.
Other PTI leaders also wrote about his alleged arrest on social media.
