Pakistan: Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement leader Pashteen arrested in Chaman after armed men allegedly opened fire on cops

Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) chief Manzoor Pashteen was arrested on Monday after armed men from his vehicle allegedly opened fire at a police vehicle in Pakistan's Chaman region, media reports said.

The PTM leaders have accused law enforcement officers of initiating the gunfire, saying that Pashteen emerged unharmed from the shooting incident, reported The Express Tribune.

The incident occurred when Pashteen was travelling to Turbat from Chaman.

Deputy Commissioner Raja Athar Abbas told The Express Tribune that after the exchange of gunfire, Levies and police promptly arrived at the scene and apprehended Pashteen from the Gudamo area of Chaman.

Balochistan Caretaker Information Minister Jan Achakzai told the Pakistani newspaper that Pashteen had addressed the Chaman sit-in without the approval of the administration, referring to PTM as “an anti-state organisation”.

He said an FIR has been lodged against him by the police.
