LAHORE: The Civil Lines police told the Lahore High Court on Thursday that former office-bearer of PML-N Youth Wing Adnan Sanaullah, involved in a gang rape incident, had fled the country.

The Civil Lines SP (investigations) stated this before a division bench during hearing of a prosecution appeal against bail granted to the suspect by a sessions court following ‘reconciliation’ with the victim party. The officer said the suspect had flown to Dubai from Islamabad airport on Nov 5, 2016.

At this, Additional Prosecutor General Abdul Samad asked the bench to set aside the impugned order of the grant of bail. He argued that the suspect misused the concession of bail.

Heading the bench Justice Shahid Hameed Dar summoned record of the case from the trial court and adjourned hearing till Jan 27.
