LAHORE: A scuffle reportedly took place between Punjab police personnel and members of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani's security detail on Saturday, DawnNews reported.

The scuffle started when members of Gilani’s security detail tried to stop SP Saddar Athar Waheed from approaching the venue of an event the prime minister was attending.

The concerned members of the security detail were then taken to Nawab Town police station where they were directed to tender an apology.

The security men were allowed to leave once the apology was tendered.
