Saad Hussain Rizvi and several TLP party workers have been charged with terrorism in connection with violent attacks on police in Rawat, Taxila, and Muridke.

Police sources confirmed that law enforcement agencies (LEAs) located TLP leaders’ hideouts on Tuesday. However, LEAs have urged the Rizvi brothers to voluntarily surrender, emphasizing that doing so would be in their best interest.

Authorities are intensifying operations against those responsible for the violence. Unverified reports suggest that Saad and Anas Rizvi may be injured, though police have not yet confirmed this. Investigations continue, and officials have assured that both brothers will be arrested soon.
