According to prosecution, police seized Rs2,500, a banner and two receipt books from the activists. The second case was registered against - Farrukh Nafees, Suleman Khan and Nauman - who were arrested in front of Siddiq-i-Akbar mosque in Block-7 of Gulshan-i-Iqbal. They were allegedly collecting donations from passers-by.

It was alleged that Farrukh Nasim, carrying a receipt book, was collecting money from the people and the two others were holding a banner. Besides, the police seized Rs1,500 from the accused.
