Paperwork was started but nothing else was done against the above mentioned at secretariat cop shoppe in Islamabad.

In September, charged protesters of PTI and PAT broke into the PTV headquarters, a state-owned media enterprise.

As soon as angry protesters entered the news headquarters of the state-owned television channel, they took over the programming control room and transmission was taken off air temporarily. It was later restored after the army stepped in to vacate the building.

The protesters damaged furniture and television equipment during the rampage.

They also took away rare pictures, food items from canteen and even the sound system from the building's mosque.

Following the attack on PTV, the federal government termed it an act of "aggression and violence".

The government had said that action would be taken in accordance with the law against those responsible for the attack.
