The police, elite forces, and anti-corruption team thoroughly searched the houses
ISLAMABAD: The residences of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leaders, including former state minister Zartaj Gul and Naeem Ibrahim, were subjected to raids by both the anti-corruption unit and the Punjab police, today.
The house of Gul in Dera Ghazi Khan was raided by both teams, who meticulously searched the premises. However, Ms. Gul was not found at home during the raid.
Officials asserted that Gul had been implicated in taking commissions from development projects. They stated that she was being pursued in cases involving corruption and kickbacks. She was exhibiting non-cooperation in the ongoing investigation.
Similarly, a raid was executed at the residence of Ibrahim in Arifwala. He had previously served as a member of the provincial assembly for PTI.
Ibrahim is currently out of Pakistan, having departed for overseas some time ago.
The PTI leader had been charged in cases related to the unlawful acquisition of government land.
A comprehensive search of Ibrahim’s house was carried out by the raid team. The team included members from the police, elite forces, and anti-corruption unit.
