LAHORE. Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif took notice of media reports alleging that police officials are trying to exert pressure on medical officers responsible for compiling reports of those injured in the violent clash between Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) workers and police in Lahore, Dawn News reported on Wednesday.

DawnNews quoted relatives of the wounded as saying that officials from Punjab police were caught putting pressure on medical superintendents at Jinnah hospital to alter the reports being compiled regarding the severity of their injuries.

The police said they were at the hospital to inquire about the well-being of the patients, not to manipulate medical reports.

Members of the PAT were among the seven people killed during a clash between PAT protesters and policemen in Lahore on Tuesday.

Following the police attack on the workers of PAT and Tehreek Minhajul Quran (TMQ), the party activists in Rawalpindi and Islamabad took to the streets to protest the killings.

In a press conference after the violent clash, Shahbaz Sharif said he will resign if found responsible for the deaths.
