Opinion claims: The argument that Pakistanis see “elite capture” in the court optics, that the public reaction reflects deeper anger, and that selective dignity damages state credibility are editorial interpretations based on visible public reaction and the supplied social-media commentary.

Source-backed claims: ARY reported the arrest claim and alleged narcotics role; ARY also reported SIU remand; Baker’s text contains the cited claims about Ittefaq’s growth, Sharif’s military relationships, the motorway cost escalation, loan defaults, and offshore entities; legal bench guidance describes special procedural protections for women accused persons.
