Authorities are now tasked with ensuring Marwat's apprehension and subsequent court appearance as directed.

Earlier on June 13, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) suspended the primary membership of Marwat due to disciplinary violations.

The notification, issued by PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub on Friday, stated that the action was taken following Marwat's breach of party discipline. An inquiry committee has been formed to investigate the matter.

The committee will look into Marwat's statements and actions that allegedly caused significant damage to the party. The notification highlighted that Marwat had already been removed from the political and core committees.
