In a significant development, 32 individuals arrested in connection with the violent protests at D Chowk in Islamabad have been released. The suspects were detained during the unrest that erupted following protests in the area earlier this month.
Authorities confirmed that the release followed judicial proceedings and investigations into the individuals’ involvement in the disturbances. Legal teams representing the suspects argued that there was insufficient evidence to justify continued detention, leading to their eventual release.
The protests had disrupted the capital for several days, with clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement. The authorities are continuing to monitor the situation as tensions in the city remain high.
