ISLAMABAD: A heavy police contingent reached the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) House in Islamabad to arrest Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders named in a case registered at Kohsar Police Station on November 26, but the operation ended without any arrests, sources said.
The police team had been tasked with detaining MPA Meena Khan, Shafi Jan, and Dr. Amjad following the issuance of non-bailable arrest warrants by an anti-terrorism court. However, the PTI leaders were not present at KP House at the time of the raid, and authorities subsequently left the premises.

The search forms part of ongoing efforts to implement the court’s directives in connection with the November 26 case. No further details about potential future actions were immediately available.
Meanwhile, the Balochistan government denied PTI permission to hold a political rally in Quetta on November 7, citing security concerns and the prevailing law and order situation. Section 144 has been imposed across the city, banning public gatherings of more than five people.
