Police 'try to arrest' Yasmin Rashid.

LAHORE -- Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) central Punjab President Dr Yasmin Rashid was allegedly intercepted by the Lahore police who tried to arrest her but in vain on Thursday.

A cancer survivor and septuagenarian, the PTI leader sent a message to the party leadership, stating: 'I am in my vehicle and the police have intercepted me in the Jail Road underpass. They want to arrest me without showing any arrest warrants'.

The police blocked Dr Rashid's car while placing barriers on the road. They stated that they were there to arrest her; however, they could not produce any arrest warrants when she asked for it.

Dr Rashid said she had already got a bail in the Ali Bilal's torture and murder case. After a large number of PTI workers reached the underpass and cleared the barriers, the policemen left the scene.
