The alleged guards of Shahzain Bugti attacked PTI leader Qasim Suri in Islamabad last night. Suri claims he was out with his friends for Suhoor at night in Islamabad in a hotel when a few men appeared and attacked them.
Qasim Suri claimed the men were guards of Shahzain Bugti. The incident happened a few hours later when Shahzain Bugti reached Holy Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah along with the government delegation where he was manhandled and heckled by Pakistani pilgrims.
Shahzain Bugti and Marriyam Aurangzeb were heckled and slogans of ‘chor chor’ (thieves) were hurled at them when they reached Holy Prophet’s Mosque on Friday. Protestors pulled the hair of Shahzain Bugti who was surrounded by men in the mosque. A video shows his guards coming in to rescue him from the charged protestors. He was later chased by men until he went inside the mosque.
