A police team has tried to arrest Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Central Punjab President Dr Yasmin Rashid in Lahore from outside her clinic in Lahore.

While talking to media, the PTI Central Punjab president said that police stopped her vehicle at Shadman underpass and tried to arrest her. “A lady police and two other cops asked me to go with them without showing the arrest warrant.”

She added that she has already secured bail in Ali Bilal’s case.
She said that police removed barriers after a large number of people gathered at the scene. “I am now going to my clinic.”
Earlier, the PTI spokesperson said that police reached Dr Yasmin Rashid’s clinic to arrest her.
The spokesperson said that Dr Rashid was present in her vehicle which was stopped by the police.
