A senior Punjab government official on Thursday said that the Punjab police will send a delegation to search Imran Khan's house in Lahore on Friday to apprehend "terrorists" allegedly holed up in his residence after seeking permission from the former prime minister.
The delegation would be led by the commissioner of Lahore. The team will set a time with Imran and then search his house in the presence of cameras, Punjab Caretaker Information Minister Amir Mir said.
The minister, in an interview with Geo News further stated that police contingents, of nearly 400 cops, would also accompany the delegation “to arrest terrorists holed up there”.
The caretaker Punjab government has said that this action is being done as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief has failed to meet the deadline to hand over the terrorists.
"We (the interim government) have decided that instead of a head-on collision, we will send a delegation to Khan Sahab under the supervision of the Lahore commissioner," Mir was quoted as saying by the Geo News.
The minister had given a 24-hour deadline to the PTI chief for handing over "30-40 terrorists" present inside his Zaman Park residence, which expired at 2 pm Thursday afternoon.
Mir said Punjab Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi conducted a meeting, in which it was decided that the delegation would take an appointment from Khan's team and meet him after Friday prayers tomorrow, the report added.
