Model Town vandalism: ATC orders Gullu Butt's appearance on Sept 5

E-Paper | February 24, 2026

LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore on Saturday ordered police to keep the main accused in the Model Town vandalism incident Gullu Butt in detention until September 6, DawnNews reported.

ATC judge III Judge Haroon Latif heard the case today.

During the hearing, police requested the court that Butt should be kept in detention under 16 MPO as he was a highly dangerous individual who spread fear and panic amongst people.

However, the court ordered that Butt should be presented before it on September 5 and subsequently adjourned the hearing to the said date.

Butt, also known as Sher-i-Lahore, came into the limelight after he was caught on cameras brazenly damaging several vehicles in the presence of police, during the clash between Pakistan Awami Tehreek workers and police in Lahore's Model Town on June 17.

Look at the photo - I think there is no justification of Shabaz Sharif to continue. The force he controls is watching while the criminal is destroying the cars - is this they call justice now

@Rashid Ishaq . I appreciate your special concern for Karachiites. These Gullu Butts are everywhere in every city. Its the lack of law and order which our politicians have no intention of tackling that is the main problem.

Gullu Butts of all political parties must be taught lessons. Setting them free will give birth to more Gullu Butts.

@SMI A very scarce commodity im Pakistan. See the nefarious role played by ex CJ Chudhry. He should be indicted but we can not expect from this regime with greater propensity to criminality. Wonder when onlooking police is going to be booked as they did nothing to prevent a crime being committed.

I have just one question: His acts were so in public, with the help of the Punjab Police and he terrorized public on Camera. How did he get a Bail? Is Pakistani Judiciary listening? This is called Corruption.
