Qureshi’s son Zain and others moved to the LHC for the recovery of the PTI leaders.

The government made a move against the Jail Bharo Tehreek by shifting the PTI leaders to different jails of Punjab. Azam Swati was shifted to Rahim Yar Khan’s district jail.

The PTI activists tried to stop the prison van transporting Azam Swati in which three workers including a woman sustained injuries.

Following the incident, PTI workers staged a protest outside the jail and chanted slogans against the government.
