The FIR was registered in the presence of Inspector Ayub Ahmed, after which it was sealed. The FIR nominates Tahirul Qadri, Hanif Mustafavi, Abrar Raza and 21 other members of the Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran for disturbance of public order, murder attempts, interference in governmental matters, snatching and disturbing peace.
