Umar Dar, the brother of ex-PTI leader Usman Dar, has returned home after he was arrested by the Sialkot police in January, the PTI has said.

On Dec 30, the PTI had claimed that Umar had been abducted in Lahore. On January 8, the Lahore High Court was told that he was in the custody of Sialkot police.

Umar’s counsel Abuzar Salman Niazi had said the cases against his client were related to the violent riots of May 9 that followed ex-premier Imran Khan’s arrest.
