LAHORE: Former law minister Rana Sanaullah is reportedly leaving for London on Monday (Aug 18) after the sessions court has ordered registration of an FIR in Model Town incident in which 14 supporters of Dr Tahirul Qadri were killed.

A ticket of a foreign airline shows he is leaving for London via Dubai on Monday.

Rana Sanaullah said: "I am not going anywhere. There is no truth in any news in this regard. The propaganda and rumours spread by opponents are totally baseless. I am ready to face the situation." Rana Sanaullah was removed from his office by Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif following the Model Town incident. He has all along denied his involvement in the tragedy.
