SAHIWAL: Councillor kidnaps man on suspicion

SAHIWAL, May 19: A councillor allegedly kidnapped a wagon driver from his house in Kot Khadim Ali Shah on Tuesday on suspicion of having illicit relations with his niece.

Councillor Siddiq Butt with 10 accomplices, including his son, entered the house of Sajjad Sattar and kidnapped him. Farid Town police have registered a case with no recovery yet.

JAILED LEADERS: Nasir Ahmad and Imran Liaquat of the PML-N, detained in Kot Lakhpat Jail, Lahore, and New Central Jail, Multan, have been shifted to the Sahiwal Central Jail.

Earlier, MPA Mehr Ishtiaq had been shifted to Sahiwal from Lahore. All three PML-N leaders are detained for three months.

INQUIRY: The chief minister has ordered an inquiry into the 'escape' of a caravan of wagons carrying PML-N workers from Sahiwal on May 11 which reached Lahore to receive party president Shahbaz Sharif.

Sahiwal DCO has been ordered to file a report after the inquiry. The matter was brought to the knowledge of Okara police by an intelligence agency official which stopped the caravan led by Sahiwal district president Nadeem Kamran and arrested all its participants.

Cases were registered against them under MPO and PPC. But the accused were not handcuffed and granted bail the next day.
