TOBA TEK SINGH: The Chuttiana police on Sunday registered a case against eight PML-N workers of Chak 301-GB on the allegation of thrashing members of a family supporting the PTI and kidnapping one of them.

Adnan Shafi complained to police that he had displayed a PTI candidate’s banner atop his house and PML-N activists including Ashar, Majid, Abdul Samad, Asif, Irfan, Shehroz and Abdul Razzaq attacked and injured him, his brothers Imran and Shafiq, his father Shafi, his sister Misbah, mother Mukhtaran Bibi and his sister-in-law Iqra Perveen. They also kidnapped his brother Shafiq and tortured him at an outhouse and later left him unconscious in the open, he alleged.

Police said doctors at the DHQ hospital confirmed the torture of the men and women. They conducted raids to arrest the suspects.
