The petition cited the prolonged harassment of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf leaders by police, extending to their families, and said Khar’s in-laws were also facing harassment and threats of involvement in various cases, which goes against the principles of free and fair elections. The petitioners sought the court’s intervention to halt police harassment, ensuring their unrestricted participation in the upcoming election.
