LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif visited 10-year-old Tabassum Shahzad, a boy whose hands were chopped off allegedly by a landlord’s son in Gujrat, DawnNews reported.
On July 21, Ghulam Mustafa, the son of influential landowner Ghulam Ghous, allegedly pushed the minor on to a water pumping machine in Chak Bula village on the outskirts of Gujrat over a petty dispute, which left his limbs severed from his body.
Shahbaz had taken notice of the incident and sought a report from the Gujrat police and the district administration.
The chief minister suspended Additional Sub-Inspector Lala Musa, Superintendent of Police Investigation, Station House Officer of the Saddar police station and District Headquarters Hospital (DHQ) Medical Superintendent for their negligence today.
Meanwhile, Mustafa — who was arrested by the police — was sent on a 10-day-long physical remand during his appearance in an anti-terrorism court in Gujranwala today.
On this occasion, strict security arrangements were made.
