Imran Khan and several PTI leaders, including Asad Umar, Murad Saeed, Fawad Chaudhary and Faisal Javed are co-accused in the case. Sheikh Rasheed is also among the 17 people named in the FIR. The FIR states that Imran Khan along with the party leaders violated Section 144. PTI leaders and their almost 1,000 supporters blocked the road at Imran Khan's behest, says the FIR. Imran Khan and other PTI leaders used loudspeakers as well, it added.
