      <title>Punjab police begin crackdown on ‘fugitive PTI workers’ ahead of Lahore rally</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330380417/punjab-police-begin-crackdown-on-fugitive-pti-workers-ahead-of-lahore-rally</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Punjab police arrested on Friday “fugitive supporters of PTI” ahead of the Lahore rally, having previously indicated plans to apprehend around 4,000 individuals wanted in connection with the May 9 incidents.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Multiple arrests have already been made during a corner meeting in Gulberg, Lahore. Police raided the event, leading to clashes between the police and PTI supporters. When PTI workers responded with stones, the police resorted to aerial firing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following such confrontations, more than 20 PTI workers were taken into custody and transported to the police station in a prisoner van. In response to the arrests, agitated protesters blocked the Mini Market road and set tyres on fire.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a strategic move, sources with the Punjab government said that the government has developed a plan to apprehend approximately 3,700 suspects and proclaimed offenders linked to the May 9 events.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Lahore police have gathered data on these wanted individuals using Safe City cameras and have established special teams tasked with identifying and arresting them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Police arrested four individuals, including the district president of the Insaf Students Federation Rana Mohsin Munhas in Vehari. They have been transferred to the district jail for 30 days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sources said that raids were also being conducted on the houses of other PTI leaders in district.&lt;/p&gt;
