The demonstrations initiated by Tehreek-e-Insaf party supporters have escalated into violence, with enraged protesters resorting to various tactics against law enforcement and security forces.

During the unrest, a demonstrator deliberately drove his vehicle into Pakistani soldiers claiming association with the Rangers, resulting in the immediate deaths of four soldiers and severe injuries to five others. Additionally, two policemen lost their lives in the same tragic incident.

In response to the escalating crisis, the Pakistani government has deployed the army in Islamabad.

Security sources have revealed that the Pakistani army has been mobilized under Article 245 with explicit orders to use force against the demonstrators.

Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, has made a public appearance amidst the turmoil, with Tehreek-e-Insaf supporters advocating for his release from incarceration.

Authorities have sealed off all roads leading to Islamabad to prevent protester access to the city.

Reports indicate that 105 police officers have sustained injuries during these protests, with many in critical condition.

Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif of Pakistan, commenting on the ongoing unrest, has stated that the protesters seem intent on causing bloodshed.
