However, they were later freed by their supporters.
Those arrested by Baghwanpura police were identified as Amir Butt, Bilal Butt, Usman Butt and Shahbaz Bhatti.
A large number of eggs, tomatoes, and shoes with the slogan “Ro Imran Ro” inscribed on them were recovered from their possession.
However, some enraged supporters of those arrested forcefully freed them from police custody and took the recovered items along with them.
PTI, PML-N respond
Meanwhile, PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi termed the act as ‘negative politics’ of the PML-N.
Claiming that the government was creating hurdles for PTI, Qureshi stressed his party knows how to defend itself, adding that it was the responsibility of the government to provide security to PTI chief Imran Khan.
Denying these allegations, PML-N MPA Taufiq Butt said his party’s leadership instructed everyone to ensure the rally was held peacefully.

@ Fawad Gillani You mean to say that those handful, illiterate, paid thugs were actually a representation of the Butt Clan. You need to open your eyes and mind.
I find it convenient that all these people were named Butt. Any relation to DJ Butt?
Seriously, they were planted to get caught. After all as every PTI Troll knows the Punjab police would have never taken any action against Sharifs men since the Punjab police is Sharifs men. Hence this looks like the work of the third Umpire.
Finally I think Imran is a coward despoiling pakistan with london plot and goldsmith money. He deserves the nice welcome the Butt brothers were going to throw him.
Tomatoes, Eggs and Shoes are more needed for needy and hapless people of Pakistan instead to waste these. If PML-N has plenty of these to waste, should give to needy and hungry people of Pakistan. After all these are bought from money of the public and should be returned to them.
It looks like too many Butts can spoil the show!!! Just like too many Cooks.....
Imran Khan is great man & Strong... (Go Nawaz Go)
All these Butts. Are they Gullu Butt's brothers?
Imran deserves these eggs and tomatoes.
@Blithe: excuse me??
Who was born into politics via Zia ul Haq? Who threw posters against BBC from a helicopter? Who attacked Supreme Court in 90s? Who has been attacking and harassing its political opponents since 80s? Who has been calling fake encounters since 90s in Punjab? Who ordered killings of model town Lahore just recently?
And there are many more.. I hope this is more than enough for you to WAKE UP. ;)
Very bad. This type of behavior is not be tolerated in PML(N). These must be converts who changed sides and joined PML(N) and brought PTI mentality into our party.
It shows Gullugardi of PMLn.
Like giving PTI a taste of its own medicine.
@Blithe: The rest of the politicians don't have destructive politics. But they sure have destroyed Pakistan. Shame on PMLN supports.
Khan we r with you..Love you khan sahab
It's a bit rich for PTI trolls to be talking about destructive politics. Imran Khan is the inventor of destructive politics in Pakistan , no wonder he is wanted by the antiterrorism court.
