On May 9, the PTI members took to the streets to vent their spleen over the arrest of ex-PM Imran Khan in a corruption case across the country.

They damaged public property, state assets and sensitive installations.

They stormed GHQ in Rawalpindi, Corps Commander House in Lahore and Radio Pakistan in Peshawar leaving a trail of destruction. 

Many office-bearers left the PTI and condemned the May incidents.
