LAHORE: In compliance with an order issued by a special anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore, Gullu Butt, the baton-wielding man seen damaging vehicles during the Model Town tragedy, will wash dishes during his term in jail.

Shahid Aziz alias Gullu Butt was accused of smashing private vehicles with a club outside the Minhajul Quran Secretariat in Model Town on June 17 when police was trying to remove barriers from outside the residence of Pakistan Awami Tehreek chief Dr Tahirul Qadri.

Police personnel did not stop Butt and were on the contrary seen to be encouraging him. His act of vandalism was caught by TV cameras.

Faisal Town police had registered a case against Gullu Butt. On Thursday, the ATC had sentenced Butt to 11 years in prison and had also enforced a fine of Rs100,000 on him.

Butt has also been tasked with the responsibility of washing dishes as well as ensuring the overall cleanliness of the jail.
