The main suspect, who allegedly shot dead a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) worker during the PTI’s protest demonstration on December 8, has been arrested.
The Punjab government had announced Rs5 million reward for the identification of the accused and special announcements were made in almost all national and local print media for this accused who has been seen promptly firing towards the PTI demonstrators and also challenging them “come forward if you can”. His voice to this effect was also recorded by the media which is part of the footage.
The accused Muhammad Elyas alias Toti, a resident of Tandlianwala and having links with a banned outfit, was hiding in Hujra Shah Muqeem, a town of Okara, at his relatives’ house.
“The special police team has recovered the pistol allegedly used for shooting and the dress the suspect was wearing on that particular day,” a police official said.
SHO Samanabad Khalid Randhawa confirmed the arrest of Elyas Toti and said that his arrest would be made public by the next 24 hours.

Now lets see if the truth comes out........and justice is done......but I doubt it.
Mr. Sana Ullah is also a leader of banned outfit, so whats the difference.
This was not the part of "Plan C" to get people arrested. Imran Niazi, they are trying to fail your plans. Arrange few more dead bodies as quick as possible Mr. niazi. Or you would be exposed further. come on hurry up, you got a very little time left. BTW, there was another victim, burning tyres and drowned in the canal??? don't worry mr. niazi, no one will ask you about him.
Citizens of pakistan has no faith in political parties and police this is what I see from the comments.
@Alien: @Najam Anjum: @Javed Mirani: You don't believe me ? alright.Soon your leadership will be telling you the truth be ready for big shocks.
He was moving freely among Pmln leaders and firing towards Pti only. Does it show anything? Doesn't it prove that he was hired by pmln? Shouldn't he employers be jailed as well?
What was the incentive, encouragement, or inspiration the accused, Muhammad Elyas alias Toti, got that he started firing? Why did he fire only against the PTI protesters/supporters? It is as veritable as daylight that, InshAllah, the PMLN days are numbered and if it finishes the term of five years A GREAT DISSERVICE WILL BE DONE TO PAKISTANIS. Salams
@ Sabi: You think police will catch their Masters. ??. I am sure, its just fabricated news to cover up main culpurits
Forget politics for a second and congratulate the police for a job well done! And now, onto politics again --- just because someone is affiliated with a banned outfit, it doesn't mean they can't also be affiliated with a political party.
@sabi kindly refer to news during elections. Rana Sanaullah has openly been seen to work with Banned Outfits. So its quite easy to figure out that who was behind thie heinous act of barbarism in FSD.
@sabi: So, sharreef Nawaz is now hiring baned outfits to terrorize citizens. why they are taking 24hrs to bring him to public; probably making sure he doesn't divulge the shareef connection. He is probably under torture to prep him to deny PML-N connection.
so what was the reason and motivation for this guy from banned organization to fire upon PTI workers, we all know what kind of relation Rana Sana ullah has with banned outfits..
What do you say liar khan and co.?.
