LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Thursday granted protective bail to PML-N MPA Rana Shoaib Idrees facing charges of attacking a police station in Faisalabad.

The court allowed the bail till Aug 11 on personal surety and restrained the police from harassing the suspect-MPA.

The suspect appeared before the court along with his counsel and stated that police had implicated him in a 'fabricated' case.

The MPA said raids were being conducted to arrest him. He said he wanted to join investigation but the police were harassing him and there was a possibility of his arrest.

He requested the court to grant him protective bail so that he could join investigation without arrest.

The FIR said MPA Shoaib Idrees along with dozens of armed men attacked Khurrianwala police station to get their arrested associates freed on July 19.
