GUJRANWALA, Aug 29: A Wahando police station SHO has become a rolling stone between the PML-Q’s rival heavyweights in connection with the election of the Kamoki tehsil Nazim, it is learnt here on Friday.
Sources told this correspondent that Wahando PS SHO Shahbaz Ahmad Cheema had registered a case against prime minister’s political adviser Rana Nazir Ahmad Khan and members of his family charged with stealing electricity a few days ago.
