Sheikh Rasheed also claimed that police took away his two vehicles and licenced weapons. Following the May 9 violence, the police have swung into action against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders, workers and supporters.
Since the crackdown was launched, the Awami Muslim League chief is on the run to avoid arrest.
A number of leaders and workers have been arrested.
