DI KHAN: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Ali Amin Gandapur has been arrested in Dera Ismail (DI) Khan following five-hour-long standoff.  According to details, police arrested PTI leader from premises of Peshawar High Court Dera Bench.

Police team headed by District Police Officer Dera shifted Ali Amin Gandapur to an unknown location. Former Minister was present in premises of High Court for almost 5 hours. Earlier in April, DPO Bhakkar said that arms seized at Dajjal check post were destined to Zaman Park residence of PTI Chairman Imran Khan. District Police Officer Muhammad Naveed said that accused were intending to shift arms to Lahore in name of private security company.

“Security Company provided licenses of 13 rifles, all of which were issued by government of Balochistan,” police chief said. “Letter has been written to home department for verification of these licenses,” he further said.

However, licenses of nine rifles were not provided, he said. “Arrested accused Ijaz has confessed that unlicensed arms were destined to Zaman Park,” DPO said. “Accused Ijaz also confessed that arms were kept at place of Ali Amin Gandapur,” he added.
