GUJRANWALA: Kamoki Saddar police registered a case on Tuesday against 300 Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) activists under terrorism and other offenses for smashing windowpanes of the vehicles of a PML-N MNA and an MPA during by-election for PP-100 on Sunday.

A first information report (FIR) of the incident was registered on the application of Rana Yasir Ali wherein 150 are nominated and the remaining unidentified who smashed the windowpanes of the vehicles of MNA Shazia Ashfaq Matto, MPA Abdul Rauf Mughal and other leaders on GT Road.

PTI activists alleged PML-N workers had also smashed the windowpanes of their vehicles but police did not address their complaints. They alleged the FIR was false and meant to harass PTI workers. Saddar Superintendent of Police Syed Karar Husain said the PTI had not lodged any application for case.
