| 2008-04-27 |
| A Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) member of the National Assembly (MNA) and 60 of his armed fellows on Saturday allegedly tortured a Punjab Food Department official in Raiwind for stopping his [MNAÂ’s] wheat-laden tractor trolley, the Express News has reported. The channel said that Food Department official Asad Gull seized the tractor trolley of MNA Mazhar Hayat Khan for transporting wheat without carrying the required documents. An angered Khan along with around 60 armed men reached the scene and tortured Gull. They also retrieved the trolley from him. The home secretary and Capital City Police Officer Malik Iqbal later directed the area police to register a case against the MNA. Khan told the channel that he had been falsely implicated in the case, and that a thorough investigation would prove him innocent. |
