The Lahore police has launched systematic attempts to arrest all the victorious candidates in the recently held general elections who were earlier deemed proclaimed offenders in the May 9 violence cases,
The police and members of the joint investigation team (JIT) have developed a plan to capture multiple important individuals, such as Mian Aslam Iqbal, Ali Amin Gandapur, and Imtiaz Sheikh, who were successful candidates for the election. Authorities are looking for these people in relation to the violent incidents that took place on May 9, 2023.
A thorough strategy has been put in place, according to JIT officials, to locate and apprehend the accused fugitives who won seats in the general elections of 2024. Law enforcement authorities are vigorously following leads to identify the suspects by utilising cutting-edge tools including smartphone tracking, IP address tracing, and geofencing.
To further support attempts to hold Mian Aslam Iqbal, Imtiaz Sheikh, and Ali Amin Gandapur responsible for their alleged involvement in the May 9 occurrences, the court has formally classified them as proclaimed criminals. The JIT authorities emphasise that these people would be arrested in line with the law, guaranteeing that due process is observed.
The JIT has also disclosed that the defendants maintained regular contact with their campaign staff and supporters during the election cycle and right up until the results were declared.
This continuous communication has helped detectives put the arrest plan into action by giving them important information about the suspects’ whereabouts and activities.
Authorities are unwavering in their commitment to enforcing the law and making sure that those accountable for the May 9 occurrences are brought to justice as the investigation moves forward. The government’s will to handle concerns of election malfeasance and uphold public order is demonstrated by the cooperative efforts of law enforcement agencies and JIT officials.
