At least nine people died and dozens of others injured including many policemen during countrywide clashes between police and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party following the arrest of former prime minister Imran Khan.
Police sources on Wednesday said that more than 1,000 pro-testers were arrested during the crackdown.
Hundreds of angry and violent protesters of PTI on Wednesday set the notable building of Radio Pakistan Peshawar and the office of the premier national news agency, Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) on fire, totally destructing the building and the offices.
Station Director Radio Pakistan Peshawar, Tahir Hassan and employees said, hundreds of PTI workers who were protesting the arrest of leader Imran in corruption cases, entered the premises of the building after rooting out the main gate.
The PTI workers entered various sections of the Radio Pakistan and looted valuable equipment before setting the rooms on fire.
Station Director Tahir Hassan said that PTI workers had also torched the replica of Chaghi Mountain in the same building the other day, adding that some of the violent protesters also resorted to massive aerial firing on the main road outside the Radio Pakistan building.
The unbridled protesters after ransacking and looting the valuable office's equipments entered the other floors of the office and set every room on fire.

Meanwhile another group of angry mob turned towards the vehicles' parked into the shed and destroyed around seven to eight vehicles includng of APP staffers and PBC.
