Police arrest armed woman at LHC
The gun along with it's magazine were seized during checking at the main gate of the high court. Security officers then handed her over to the Anarkali police.
The woman, identified as Abida, had come to the court with her husband for a hearing of a case related to her niece's love marriage.
She is reportedly a resident of Shad Bagh and had a license for the weapon.
In order to avoid any untoward situation, it is prohibited to carry a weapon inside the LHC's premises. Abida has reportedly said that she did not know that it was against the law to bring a gun to the court.
On May 27, a 25-year-old woman was stoned to death by her father and two brothers in an apparent ‘honour killing’ outside the LHC after she married a man of her choice. According to police, she was initially fired upon but she survived the firing after which nearly a dozen men, including her father, brothers and former fiancée, pelted her with bricks and stones until she died on the spot.

Why is she arrested? immediately release her and file and FIR against PM, CM whole cabinet and all Punjab Police. Attacks on courts are allowed in Naya Pakistan
Scary place for humans.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Also "a case related to her niece's love marriage" sounds rather explosive for the implied assumptions therein: is it illegal to get married for love? Perhaps it could be framed in words less unfortunate than that.
"The Enforcers" are the citizens of Naya Pakistan as prescribed by Mr.Imran Khan.
The law that applies to her should also apply to the high and mighty.
"Abida has reportedly said that she did not know that it was against the law to bring a gun to the court." - Well she has a point there ... specially looking at the latest law and order situation !!!
