TOBA TEK SINGH, Oct 28: Carrying out the orders of the Lahore High Court, Gojra city police on Tuesday registered a case against a tehsildar, who got a villager kidnapped and tortured few days ago.

Muhammad Riaz, a resident of Chak 417-JB, had filed a petition with the LHC in which he stated that he went to the court of the Gojra deputy district officer (revenue) from where tehsildar Mazhar Bhatti and his four accomplices took him away, tortured him and then detained him.

The LHC summoned the tehsildar, who was ordered to produce the detainee. However, he again tortured the complainant and set him free without obeying the court’s orders.

Gojra civil judge Haji Muhammad Ahmad got the complainant medically examined from the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital on the orders of the LHC. The report confirmed torture after which the LHC ordered registration of a case against the accused.

KILLED: A man was killed while three others grievously injured when two motorcycles collided with each other near Chak 359-GB.

Reports said Muhammad Shafiq was on his way to his village by his two-wheeler when an oncoming motorcycle collided with it. As a result, Shafiq died instantly while the three people, including lady councillor Ramzan Bibi, her daughter Humaira Bibi and son Muhammad Latif, on the other vehicle were injured.

They were admitted to the District Headquarters Hospital from where Latif was shifted to the Allied Hospital in Faisalabad due to his critical condition.

MIP LEADER: Millat-i-Islamia Pakistan chief Maulana Muhammad Ahmad Ludhianvi said on Tuesday the government had yet to arrest the nominated accused of MNA Maulana Azam Tariq’s assassination.

He told newsmen that the MIP activists would protest delay in the arrest of the culprits.
