Gullu Butt sent on 14-day judicial remand

The PML-N worker was beaten by an angry mob during his first visit to the court.

LAHORE: Gullu Butt, active member of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and police tout, was sent on a 14-day judicial remand on the orders of the magistrate, Express News reported. 

He was taken to the court for the second time today in police custody amidst heavy security.

Earlier in the day, he was beaten up by an angry mob  in Lahore as reported by Express News.


The development comes two days after violent clashes between Tahirul Qadri's supporters and the police left eight people dead and scores others injured.

On Thursday, the PML-N worker - who was caught taking active part in the clashes against Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) workers -  was handcuffed and beaten up outside a session court in the the Model Town area of Lahore.

Police eventually intervened and shifted Butt to an undisclosed location after he fainted and sustained injuries.

Vandalism

Butt was caught smashing cars during the clash between PAT workers and the police outside the Minhajul Quran International Secretariat on Tuesday.

He smashed windscreens and windows of private vehicles with his club, while police officials looked on and the vandalism continued unabated.
