Suspected PMLN workers arrested in the assault of the serving major of the Pak Army have been released, reports HUM News.
It is reported that CCPO confirmed to Hum News that the suspects in the case have been released. PML-N leader Khawaja Salman Rafique’s guards had severely beaten a serving army officer and broken his arm. The incident took place on Feroze Pur Road on April 13, when PML-N hooligans stopped Major Haris’s car while he was going home.
After being confronted by the public, the miscreant guards ran away, leaving the officer critically injured. Major was also threatened with death by the guards of Khawaja Salman Rafique, who is the brother of the renowned PML-N parliamentarian Khawaja Saad Rafique
Khawaja Salman Rafique, Ex-Provincial Minister of Punjab and member of PML-N, and Hafiz Noman were in the next car. In a video widely shared on the internet, one of the guards can be seen holding a metal rod in his hand. After thrashing the Major, he stepped over his car.
