Additionally, the court ordered the convicts to collectively submit Rs12,925,000 and directed authorities to seize their moveable and immoveable assets. The court was hearing a case registered in September last year against TLP workers who held violent protests and clashed with the police over the arrest of party chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi. A constable was seriously injured at Multan Road where the violent activists clashed with police. Following the unrest and severe clashes, contingents of paramilitary force Rangers reached Lahore, taking control of the city’s major arteries. The arrests came months after the party held a sit-in in Islamabad against a Supreme Court verdict acquitting Aasia Bibi in a blasphemy case.
