PTM chief Manzoor Pashteen arrested in Chaman

Levies and police personnel had arrested the PTM leader from the Gudhamo area

PTM chief Manzoor Pashteen is reported to have been arrested in Chaman on Monday.

As reported, Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) chief Manzoor Pashteen is arrested over allegations of firing at police.

Chaman Deputy Commissioner Raja Athar Abbas said that he was arrested after the incident of firing at the police from his vehicle.

Abbas said Levies and police personnel had arrested the PTM leader from the Gudhamo area.

“Today, police were fired at from Pashteen’s car on Mall Road,” Chaman DC said, adding that a case had also been registered against the PTM leader.

Chaman Deputy Commissioner added that Pashteen was arrested in connection with today’s incident as well as a ban on his entry into Balochistan.

According to him, the PTM leader would later be presented before a district magistrate.

The statement from an official arrives almost four hours after PTM alleged that Pashteen’s vehicle was fired at by law enforcement agencies (LEAs) while he was on his way from Chaman to Turbat — where protests have been taking place against an alleged extra-judicial killing.
