LAHORE: The Gullu Butts are out again as an army officer namely Major Haris was severely tortured by the workers of the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leaders including Khawaja Salman Rafique and Hafiz Noman.
Police claimed that they arrested the suspects who were involved in torturing the army officer near Lahore’s Kalma Chowk on Wednesday. The arrested men turned out to be workers of the PML-N leaders, according to ARY News.
Following the violent incident, Khawaja Salman Rafique and Hafiz Noman had sought an apology from the army officers.
In a presser, Rafique criticised the alleged social media trend of PTI workers against him and claimed that the social media posts were spreading false stories. He claimed that he was initially unaware of the scuffle of his security guards with the army officer and later he came to know about the incident via a telephone call from his PA.
میں قرآنِ پاک ساتھ لے کر آیا ہوں تاکہ گواہی دے سکوں کہ جو کہہ رہا ہوں سچ کہہ رہا ہوں۔ افسوس صرف یہ ہے کہ جو ہوا وہ ویریفائی نہیں کیا گیا۔ اور پراپگینڈا مہم شروع کر دی گئی۔ باقی سیف سٹی کے کیمرے موجود ہیں۔ انشاء اللہ سچ سامنے آ جائے گا پولیس تحقیقات کے بعد۔ pic.twitter.com/IXWe7TfKlI

The politician claimed that he asked the staff to surrender to the police. Hafiz Noman said that they are not defending themselves and presenting themselves before the law.
Yesterday, Rafique and Noman had surrendered to the police after being nominated in the case.
The complaint stated that he had been subjected to torture over the directions of Rafique and Noman who are sitting in another vehicle at the crime scene. He added that their employees could not torture him without getting the go-ahead from the accused political leaders, ARY News reported.
