Dozens of workers of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were rounded up in Islamabad during a massive crackdown on home-bound protestors in the wee hours of Friday.
According to details, the PTI workers were on their way back after attending the sit-in at D-Chowk, when they were rounded up near PIMS hospital at a police checkpoint.
Three doctors from a hospital in Swabi were also amongst those who were arrested. They informed police that they are doctors but even then they were not released.
Apart from the participants of the sit-in, ordinary citizens were also arrested at police checkposts established at different places in the capital.
