PTI leaders arrested in Peshawar, including ex-GB CM
PTI leaders arrested on Sunday night include former Gilgit-Baltistan chief minister Khalid Khurshid Khan and KP Assembly Speaker Babar Saleem Swati.
Khalid Khurshid Khan, former Gilgit-Baltistan chief minister, and KP Assembly Speaker Babar Saleem Swati were detained on Sunday night at the speaker’s house in Peshawar, the party said.
A police source confirmed Khurshid’s arrest and said he was wanted in multiple criminal cases.
