Islamabad police arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Marwat, only to release him later. The police accused Marwat of attacking officers, injuring them, and tearing an officer's uniform.
Sher Afzal Marwat denied these allegations, claiming that the police attacked him with weapons. In response, he called on PTI supporters to protest.
A large police contingent detained Marwat and transferred him to Golra Police Station. His arrest was later confirmed via his Twitter account. A police spokesperson stated that Marwat was released after assuring authorities that he would not incite unrest.

It's worth noting that PTI had earlier announced the postponement of their planned rally in Islamabad. PTI central leader Azam Swati, in the presence of Chairman Barrister Gohar, declared that the rally, originally scheduled for today, will now take place on September 8, following instructions from Imran Khan.
