The arrest comes a day after police registered a case against Aneela Riaz, also known as Neeli Pari, following a complaint by comedian Tahir Anjum, who accused her of physical assault.
The incident occurred outside the Punjab Assembly where PTI was holding a ‘symbolic hunger strike’ against the incarceration of party founder Imran Khan.
The PTI worker stopped the PML-N cultural wing leader’s vehicle outside the assembly and started beating him.
In the footage available PTI’s Neeli Pari can be seen slapping PML-N’s Tahir Anjum, who was then rescued by party workers.
Despite intervention from police and bystanders, Aneela continued her assault on Tahir Anjum, who eventually escaped.
