GUJRANWALA: The guards of the district and sessions court judge took into custody on Tuesday an MPA, his son besides two Elite Force constables for creating scenes outside the court.

Police released them after detaining them for a brief time.

PML-N MPA Qaiser Iqbal Sundho’s son Abdullah and nephew Imran appeared in the court of Civil Judge Umer Sharif Sheikh in a quarrel case. They were standing at the court room door when Elite Force constables Asif Jamil and Khurram asked them to step aside. A physical ensued and the MPA also arrived at the scene and allegedly thrashed the constables.

Sessions court security guards took them, including the MPA, into custody.

City Superintendent of Police Saleem Sagar along with other police officers reached there. He, however, released them on the reported directions of senior officials.

WARRANT: A local court issued on Tuesday non-bailable arrest warrants for 57 private schools’ owners for running them without registration.

The education department has submitted a list of unregistered private schools to the court.

Special Judicial Magistrate Ansar Hayat summoned the owners but they did not turn up. The court ordered police to produce them in court on April 16.

FIA: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) produced on Tuesday two sub-divisional officers (SDOs) of Wapda in the court of Senior Civil Judge Syed Azhar Ali.

The judge remanded SDO Ashiq Bhatti into police custody for two days and sent SDO Amjad Rashid to the central jail.

The FIA arrested both SDOs in Sialkot in an illegal transformers deal.

INJURED: A seminary student was found injured in the Deputy Commissioner Colony.

Abdul Musaib told police he was the student of Zialul Quran. He was kidnapped by four people, who tortured him and later threw him near the colony.

He claimed he was kidnapped twice in six months by unidentified armed men.
