    It is reported that ETPB (Evacuee Trust Property Board) has taken action by sealing Sheikh Rashid's Lal Haveli residence located in Rawalpindi.

    Sheikh Rashid Ahmed's Lal Haveli residence in Rawalpindi, belonging to the Awami Muslim League (AML) leader, was sealed by the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) on Thursday. The ETPB deputy administrator, Asif Khan, revealed that this action was taken due to the invalidity of the documents provided by Sheikh Rashid.

    The ETPB chairman authorized the sealing of Lal Haveli, which was carried out with the involvement of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and a substantial police presence in the early morning. In a video statement, Sheikh Rashid Shafiq, the nephew of the AML chief, claimed that Lal Haveli had been registered in the name of Sheikh Siddique in 1988.

    Sheikh Rashid Shafiq asserted that they had submitted all property records to the deputy commissioner of Rawalpindi, with their response already filed in the Lahore High Court Rawalpindi Bench. Additionally, he expressed their intention to legally contest the ETPB's decision to seal their property in the high court.

    After the operation, the ETPB took control of Lal Haveli and deployed security personnel outside the property. This action came in the wake of Sheikh Rashid's reported arrest in Rawalpindi, as stated by his counsel, Sardar Abdul Razaq.
