IG Punjab Usman Anwar said that we prepared a report based on geo-tagging and geo-fencing, intelligence reports, and arrested the resisters after clearing the area.
The IG said that the search warrant was obtained around noon, the leadership was contacted, and they said we were not there, and the police officers were still present in Zaman Park, where the weapons were recovered.
