LAHORE: An anti-terrorist court on Friday indicted Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) activist Gullu Butt with vandalism and attacking policemen on the list of charges levelled against him.

Butt, the baton-wielding man who was caught on camera damaging vehicles in Lahore during the Model Town incident, was indicted by ATC judge Rai Ayub Khan Marth.

Butt has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Butt came into the limelight after he was caught on camera brazenly damaging several vehicles in the presence of police, during the clash between Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) workers and police in Lahore's Model Town on June 17.

Fourteen supporters of the PAT had been killed and scores of others injured in police action in Model Town. The incident triggered widespread condemnation of the Punjab government and the sacking of provincial law minister Rana Sanaullah.

In late August 28, the police also lodged an FIR against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and 19 others in relation to the incident and on the complaint of Minjahul Quran secretariat. The complaint included Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act and three more sections of the Pakistan Penal Code.
