Karachi police on Wednesday detained Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Faisal Wada from a protest that caused massive traffic jams on many significant roads including Shahrah-e-Faisal.

According to details, the PTI leader was transferred to Airport Police Station.

The police also resorted to baton-charge to disperse the demonstrators.

Earlier, thousands of citizens were left helpless who were trying to return to their homes after offices hours due to a protest of civil society near Star Gate.

Due to the gridlock, the traffic from Drigh Road was diverted to Rashid Minhas Road.
