OKARA, May 3: The law enforcing agencies continued their operation on Saturday and arrested four more tenants.
The agencies reportedly arrested Abdul Jabbar, Muhammad Akram and Sajjad, a grade nine student, who are stated to be the brother, uncle and cousin of Anjuman Mazareen’s former president of Okara and former Nazim of union council Mehr Abdul Sattar. They were returning to their village from the vegetable market by a tractor-trolley when arrested.
Hanif Masih was arrested from Chak 9/4-L along with bull cart.
When contacted, Punjab Anjuman Mazareen president Liaquat Ali confirmed their arrest and said there was no case registered against them.
