Daily Times described the incident as an "arrest" and mentioned the location as a madrassa, while also referencing a circulating video. Dawn referred to the incident as a "raid" and linked it to broader reports of a crackdown on PTI activists. Both headlines and excerpts focused on the arrest itself but differed slightly in framing the context and method of the police action.

   Imran Khan’s sisters detained under MPO ahead of protest

   Most outlets reported that two of Imran Khan’s sisters, Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi, were detained under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) for 30 days, following the earlier detention of his sister Aleema Khan. Several also noted the timing in relation to the planned September 27 protest and mentioned their transfer to Kot Lakhpat jail. While most described the detentions as part of a broader crackdown or in the context of the PTI’s long march, a few, like *Dawn* and *Business Recorder*, briefly mentioned PTI’s condemnation of the arrests. The framing of the detentions as a “crackdown” appeared only in *Pakistan Observer*, while others used more neutral language.
