Police reinforcements also arrived to secure D-Chowk from PTI workers by midnight as Imran Khan headed towards the place. Not only the PTI workers and leaders were targeted but common citizens also came under attack as LEAs targeted anyone who came out. But defiant PTI workers were still able to stage protests by pulling away containers and crossing over blocked roads. Sanaullah said police had carried out a total of 4,417 swoops on PTI supporters’ homes, offices and on protest rallies and had arrested nearly 1,700 people. Sources have reported roadblocks in Faisalabad, Gujranwala and other cities in Punjab, with shelling on PTI supporters trying to cross these.
