Advocate Imaan Mazari and her husband, Abdul Hadi, were arrested in Islamabad on Monday amid allegations of assaulting security officials at a checkpoint earlier this month. The couple was apprehended by Aabpara Police, where the case against them had been filed, and Imaan was subsequently transferred to the Women’s Police Station.
The incident that led to their arrest occurred when police cordoned off a road to facilitate the passage of the English cricket team heading to a match in Rawalpindi.
A video of the confrontation surfaced on social media, showing Mazari and Hadi attempting to remove the barriers to allow traffic to flow. The situation escalated into a scuffle with the police, which ultimately resulted in their arrest.
Eyewitnesses reported that tensions were high as traffic was backed up, and the couple’s actions sparked a heated exchange with law enforcement. The video gained traction online, drawing significant attention to the altercation and leading to public discussions about the treatment of citizens by security personnel.
Mazari, a prominent advocate known for her legal work and activism, has previously been involved in various high-profile cases, making her arrest noteworthy. The charges against her and her husband are serious, and the situation has raised questions about police conduct and public rights in such scenarios.
As the couple faces legal repercussions, their arrest has ignited discussions among their supporters, who are rallying for their rights and seeking accountability for what they perceive as an overreach by the authorities. The unfolding situation will likely continue to attract media coverage and public interest as further developments occur.
