PESHAWAR: Senior Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Fazal Mohammad Khan was roughed up allegedly by angry workers of Awami National Party (ANP) on the Peshawar High Court premises here on Thursday.

The incident took place when the ANP provincial president Aimal Wali Khan was talking to media persons after attending court proceedings.

The PTI leader had petitioned the PHC over Aimal Wali’s remarks against the PHC chief justice.

When the petitioner came out of the court, the angry ANP workers attacked him and roughed him up with kicks and punches.

The scuffle turned the court premises into a battle ground and several flower pots were also broken in the melee. Later, Fazal Khan was rescued by the police personnel, who escorted him out of the PHC premises.
