Audi Pakistan has released a statement, saying that its showroom in Lahore was subjected to “severe destruction” during protests following the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan.

“Due to the escalating violence and unrest in the area, we were unable to prevent the damage inflicted upon our showroom despite our best efforts,” the statement issued on Wednesday said.

“The destruction of our showroom is a significant loss for us. We have invested considerable time, resources, and dedication in creating a welcoming and exceptional environment for our customers,” it added.

Audi said it was collaborating with local authorities and law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident and apprehend those responsible for the vandalism.
