Members of the anti-corruption division along with the police conducted a raid at Chaudhry Parvez Elahi’s Gujrat home, the former chief minister of Punjab and current president of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Geo News reported.
The raid comes two days after they conducted a similar operation at his house in Lahore. The house was raided Monday night. While the anti-corruption department, involved in the Lahore raid, denied any involvement, police briefly searched the former chief minister’s residence in Gujrat, Kunjah House.
Twelve persons, largely his workers, were taken into custody during the Friday night raid by anti-corruption and police authorities who used an armoured truck to smash open the PTI president’s Gulberg home’s main gate, according to Geo News.
The police action occurs barely hours before the PTI and the multi-party ruling coalition in the centre of the Pakistan Democratic Movement have essential discussions on elections.
