A day after Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) Punjab President Rana Sanaullah was arrested from Sukekhi, Faisalabad police took another PML-N leader, Shaikh Aijaz, into custody during a raid on his residence on Satyana Road.

A former MNA and current the PML-N’s city president was shifted to an undisclosed location. Police refused to disclose the details that led to his arrest.

He was an active figure in the hometown of Rana Sanaullah who, along with other party leaders, had addressed a press conference to announce protests following Sanaullah’s arrest.

Later in the day, PML-N workers had staged a demonstration on the Samundri Road and thrown traffic out of gear. Meanwhile, police had raided the houses of various PML-N activists and arrested around 24 people, apparently to forestall the PML-N’s protest in the wake of Sanaullah’s arrest.

An area magistrate on Tuesday released all arrested PML-N activists.
