PTI leadership has condemned both the arrests on social media. Shahbaz Gill said, “Haleem Adil Sheikh has been kept at an unknown location. No court has been set up and no law has been enacted. Just the law of the jungle.”
A petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC) for the recovery of Haleem Adil and IG Punjab and others were made parties in the plea.
The petition holds that the leader was detained in Lahore by some plain-clothed men last night and so far his location is unknown. It also added that he has not yet been produced in any court.
