Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said Wednesday that police have surrounded his Zaman Park residence in Lahore — where he is currently residing — and expressed fears that he could be taken into custody.

“Probably my last tweet before my next arrest. Police has [sic] surrounded my house,” the PTI chief said in a tweet.

Khan was arrested on May 9 — the day when the country witnessed deadly protests — in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case, but a court later granted him bail.

Later, addressing his party workers, the deposed prime minister — who was removed from office in April last year — that if the police come with a search warrant to carry out an operation at his Zaman Park residence, he would not put up resistance against them.

“I have just heard that 40 terrorists are hiding at my residence. Please do come here [but] in a civilised manner and don’t attempt to storm my residence,” he said while addressing his supporters.

“If 40 terrorists are present at my house, then my life is also in danger. Please carry out a search operation but tell me the names of terrorists and we will show you our entire house.”

He also warned against using the search operation against terrorists as a pretext to attack his house saying “don’t fan this fire any further”.

His statement came as the interim Punjab government has given a 24-hour deadline to the PTI to hand over the “30-40 terrorists that have taken refuge” at the former prime minister’s Zaman Park residence to the police.

“PTI should handover these terrorists or the law will take its course,” said Caretaker Information Minister Aamir Mir while addressing a press conference in Lahore earlier today. He also added that the government was aware about the presence of these “terrorists” as it had credible intelligence reports.

“The intelligence report that has come is very alarming,” said Mir. He added that the agencies were able to confirm the presence of the “terrorists” in Zaman Park through geo-fencing.

“PDM running away from elections”

In today’s address, Khan said the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)-led government was not going to hold elections in the country even if they had to violate Constitution.

The ruling alliance is afraid that Khan will come into power if the elections are held and reopen their corruption cases worth billions of rupees.

Referring to the ongoing crackdown on the PTI leaders and workers over their alleged involvement in violent protests, the deposed premier expressed concerns that “whatever is happening will trigger a huge backlash that will cause more damage”.

While denying any role in the ransacking of public and military installations following his arrest on May 9, the PTI chief said they were moving the court to form a judicial commission to probe the countrywide riots.

“We have received evidence [that] miscreants were infiltrated who had weapons and were asking people to attack the Corps Commander House,” he remarked.

Khan said as many as 25 workers of PTI were killed and 700 were receiving medical treatment after they were shot at during the violent protests.

Besides, he said thousands of workers and leaders had been put in jail.

During a recent PTI demonstration in Islamabad, a guy is seen falling from a container in a video that has gone viral on social media. In order to support what security officials have referred to as “fake propaganda,” PTI used this clip to assert that the person had passed away. Investigations have shown that the individual in question, Tahir Abbas, 38, is still alive and making a full recovery.

Tahir Abbas, who lives in Tehsil Phalia in the Mandi Bahauddin District and is the son of Faiz Ahmed, was hurt in the fall and is now at his brother-in-law’s house in Rawalpindi after undergoing basic medical care at a hospital.

Technical investigations revealed that Tahir Abbas had turned off his phone and was using a different number, which made it difficult to track him at first. making use of his device’s IMEI.

On November 21, 2024, Tahir Abbas, a farmer and visa agent, reportedly visited Islamabad for visa-related reasons. Later, when the tragedy happened, he joined the PTI protest.

Subsequent investigations showed that Tahir Abbas works for the PTI and is connected to PP-41 PTI MPA Bisma Riaz Chaudhry. It’s interesting to note that reports revealed Abbas had previously belonged to the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) before deciding to join the PTI.

Security personnel have made it clear that any allegations about his death are completely untrue. Additionally, Abbas’s family has verified his present whereabouts and state of health. Authorities are still looking into his actions and how he was involved in the PTI demonstration.
