[DAWN] MUZAFFARGARH: MNA Jamshed Dasti along with his 70 supporters on Thursday surrendered to police after they were booked under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) for attacking police team and interfering in official work, DawnNews reported.On Tuesday, police started the paperwork but haven't done much else against Dasti and his 200 supporters under the Anti-Terrorism Act. The FIR was registered by the City cop shoppe on the complaint of the district police officer.
According to the complaint, Dasti and his men attacked police teams and interfered in official work. The accused damaged police vehicles and created terror and harassment.
DPO Rai Zameerul Haq said Dasti had reached Thatta Sialan on Monday where some people were trying to plug a breach and he tried to stop them.
Dasti on the other hand said he was innocent. He said he was rather attacked by local Pakistain Mulsil League-Nawaz (PML-N) men present at the breach site.
It was the second FIR under the 7-ATA against Dasti. He was booked earlier in 2009 for attacking doctors of DHQ Hospital.
After surrendering to Katcheri Police, Dasti said despite the 'fake FIR' registered against him, he was surrendering to uphold the law.
Security across the city has been put on high alert after the arrest.
