TOBA TEK SINGH: The Faisalabad Factory Area police booked on Sunday former federal minister Abid Sher Ali and his seven accomplices, including two nominated, for injuring a PTI activist and indiscriminate firing on his friends on Oct 21.

Complainant Shahid Pervez, of Risala No 12, said that he and his friends were sitting outside his house when Abid asked his accomplices to attack him.

They started beating him, but he entered his home to save himself.

They also came after him, using abusive language and continued torturing him. They fled, taking the cover of indiscriminate fire before leaving. No arrests were made.
