Police arrested 550 workers of PAT after clashes broke out between party workers and police, after the supporters asked law enforcers to remove barriers blocking Airport Road near Koral Chowk and the police officials refused.
During the clashes at least 120 people including 45 policemen were injured in the twin cities.
The PAT supporters, who had come to receive Dr Qadri from the Islamabad airport, allegedly damaged government property, beat up police personnel, tried to steal weapons and stole weapons from an armoured car.
Earlier today, Islamabad and Rawalpindi police registered cases against more than 1,600 PAT workers including party chief Dr Tahirul Qadri.
The cases were registered on charges of vandalism and violence outside Benazir International Airport on the complaint of the police.
Several clauses including violation of section 144 and disrupting peace have been included in the First Information Reports.
Furthermore, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has tasked Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar to communicate with Qadri. The police has also been asked to provide full-proof security to the PAT leader.

Those who defied the writ of the State on Monday are violators of law and SS has no right to release them without due process of law. If they are not fully prosecuted as per law then the NS and SS governments will be failing in their duties to the people, the nation, and the State of Pakistan for which they should be held accountable.
If the NS and SS governments do not prosecute the violators of law who created mayhem it would not be doing any favor to the State. Let it not be afraid of a blow back, which might lead to a coup but in the larger interest of the State, the miscreants must be prosecuted and brought to justice.
Why are these workers being released? Or are they just released on bail?
But there are gullu butts everywhere and in all parties. The picture shows a lot of rocks littered, which were probably used for brick batting the police.
Now police is lodging FIR yes it is as per rule and law...what about not letting people to demonstrate peacefully their politically agenda.
People make fun of his rather weird collection of topis, his designer-beard, the choice of his phrases, (mubarak hooo), his "sermonesque" way of talking.......But, the fact of the matter is that he has emerged as the only leader in Pakistan who says things that make sense to a common man. And that's not a good sign for the corruption kings in Pakistan.
@Imam: He himself might be owner of the one!
@Qadri the True Lion:
hahaha.. loved the joke... oh man... u rock ....hahahhahaha
Help us close down the heera mandis, Qadri sahib.
@Qadri the True Lion: Please replace the word Lion with either Coward, Hijacker, Fitnaa or Drama.
Worst politics ny PMLn, they made a non-entity into a valuable thing. Someone tell PMLn be mature and keep your mouth close for useless stuff. I am tired of this dirty politics.
Excellent step by the police. No one should ne allowed violence.
DEMOCRACY GIVES FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND CHOICE. You can chose your leader and allow to follow him. I hate PML-N and his BLIND supporters but at the same time I accept their democratic rights.
Now they banned ARY without any solid reason just to please SOMEONE.
Please let me know What's the problem with so called democrat depriving people from their basic right.
Vandalism should not be tolerated at all... regardless of who does it.
