An estranged leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was arrested on Friday for allegedly filming a bridge constructed in the fields by former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaisar.
According to 24NewsHD TV, Yousaf Ali had made a video of the bridge in the fields and then shared it on social media. The video went viral immediately.
Yousaf Ali, who had been a close aide of the jailed former prime minister Imran Khan in the past, had served as general secretary of the PTI in the Swabi district.
PTI’s disgruntled leader Akbar S. Ahmad has condemned Yousuf Ali’s arrest and described it as an act of political vengeance.
