According to eyewitness accounts, both Barrister Gohar and Shoaib Shaheen were struck during the confrontation.
The incident has stirred controversy and criticism. PTI, via a Twitter message, condemned the attempted arrest and the manner of its execution as “criminal” and “mafia-style,” branding it as a reprehensible chapter in what they described as an increasingly lawless environment in Pakistan.
PTI criticized the government officials’ actions, accusing them of exceeding their constitutional authority without facing any accountability for such alleged illegal acts.
