In a late night crackdown on Thursday, scores of Sheikh Rashid’s AML workers, including his close relatives, were rounded up by police at Lal Havali.
Rawalpindi police sealed all the roads and streets leading to Lal Haveli late Thursday night. Containers have been placed in front of Lal Haveli and roads leading to it. Moreover, access to narrow streets adjoining Lal Haveli has been restricted by placing barbed wires.
