LAHORE: Three PML-N MPAs visited the Qila Gujjar Singh police station to join the investigation in the Punjab Assembly attack case.

Rana Mashhood, Awais Leghari and Mirza Javed claimed that they visited the police station but the police refused to record their statements in the case.

Talking to reporters, Rana Mashhood said the police refused to record their statements. He said it was a fake FIR [first information report] and they would face such cases.

He claimed that soon the PML-N would form the government in Punjab.

The Lahore police last month had initiated action against 13 PML-N MPAs including the prime minister’s special assistant Atta Tarar, in the Punjab Assembly attack case (registered by CM Parvez Elahi over hooliganism during the chief minister’s previous election on April 16). These MPAs later secured pre-arrest bail.
