It is significant to note Aamer was taken into custody during a police and CDA raid on PTI’s Central Secretariat (CDA) on May 23, 2024. CDA refers to the Capital Development Authority.

CDA also demolished the PTI secretariat office due to an alleged violation of building rules. After demolition, CDA officials sealed the PTI central office and posted a banning order.

Meanwhile, PTI activists opposed attempts by the government to destroy the office during this process. It resulted in the arrests of several party workers by Islamabad Police.

On the other hand, the Imran Khan party strongly condemned the CDA’s demolition of the PTI office. It also condemned the arrests of several PTI workers and demanded their release.
