PML-N workers and police clashed on Tuesday outside a National Accountability Bureau (NAB) office in Lahore where party leader Maryam Nawaz had arrived to record her statement in a case related to "illegal" acquisition of land in Raiwind.

The scene outside the building turned violent when the PML-N leader's caravan, which included several cars and hundreds of supporters on foot, reached outside the NAB premises on Multan road.

Television footage showed men in plain clothes pelting stones at law enforcers, who were also seen assaulting some PML-N workers with batons, water cannons and tear gas. Several television channels also showed footage and pictures of cars, purportedly part of the PML-N caravan, laden with bags full of stones.

Dozens of party workers were also seen being taken into custody by police from the site. According to the PML-N spokesperson, at least 50 workers were arrested by police during the clash.

As the situation outside the watchdog's building turned violent, Maryam, who was in one of the vehicles part of the caravan and surrounded by supporters, posted a video of her car's broken windshield and alleged that "police had pelted her car with stones [as a result of which] the glass had cracked".

In another tweet, she condemned police brutality against PML-N party workers. "I strongly condemn police shelling, use of tear gas and lathi charge on peaceful party workers who came to show solidarity with me," she said.

She also shared pictures of party workers who were injured in the clash.
