Butt is set to be presented before court on June 19. PHOTO: INP
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.

PPP, MQM, PML, PTI, ANP, PAT, etc etc....All have Gullu Butts in their sleeves, ready to do their leaders will
Gullu Butt is a small fry, the criminals who instigated murder of unarmed innocent women and men are shameless enough to pin all blame on this idiot and then play down the whole sordid incident as a minor failure of governance.
The people of Pakistan are shameless enough to accept this or any other evil without batting a eyelid and continue as normal, this is exactly the trouble with Pakistan even the common man has benn corrupted where nothing is worth fighting for in his mentality.
The only good option for Pakistan at this juncture in history is to arrest the culprits, suspend the prime minister and his brother and entire PML-N government pending enquiry by the Army and civil society. No body from the current government and its agents can be trusted. it really is that simple.
Great...proud to be Butt
"I haven't committed a crime. What I did was fail to comply with the law." - Gullu Butt 2014
@yaz: The same reason why Mush wants all his co-conspirators tried with him for treason.
"If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun." - Gulloo Butt
My dear Insafiaans further to my earlier post ........watch out http://tribune.com.pk/story/723943/olive-branch-punjab-government-in-bid-to-mollify-qadri/
I hope molvi sahib of canada will not make friends with PMLN by getting benefits and protocol on his arrival.....just like he did with PPP only year ago?
We insafiaans could be left hanging alone.........as well as our slogan of inqalab and our share of chanda in dollars and pounds stolen by the canadian!!!
Shahbaz sharif was shedding crocodile tears in press conference. Is it possible that he did not know about the incident throughout the day. Not a single police officer has been suspended. No action taken against anyone. Why Mr Gulu has not been charged so far. Action speak lounder than words. It is the same party which started Qabza groups, banking crisis, and attacked SC while in session. The fact remains these politicians a political offspring of Gen Zia got away with each of their crime. Only one party politicians are targeted by our courts especially LHC. Mr Sharif this is the beginning of your end.
My dear Insafiaans Well done lets continue to provide full support to Maulvi sahib from Canada.....however please be aware
canadian maulvi sahib is also talking about Inqalaab....so dont get too carried away remember it was IK who said it first so inqalab is patented to PTI
canadian molvi sahib never accepts anyone else as his leader.....so make sure you do not get carried away as canadian molvi is better speaker and hyptoniser than IK
canadian molvi sahib also has the unique art of collecting lots of chanda ....from overseas pakistanies ..... so make sure your chanda in dollars and pounds stays with PTI as IK is the only chanda collector for us
and last but not least.....this canadian molvi was Sharif's employee until few years ago........ and he is using same slogans as PTI of inqalab, chanda collection, attracting young boys and gals.......... could he be working for sharifs??? remember Sethi?
Very interesting character! whatever lawyers did with him outside the court is not acceptable at any cost... whether Gullu is guilty or not. Another scarred face of our society.
@PTIUK Dude humour and satire really are not your strong suit ... try something else like N.I.H.A.R.I maybe
This guy should be made responsible to fix and repair damaged cars and apologizing to the owners of the cars. How come police came to rescue Gulu Butt when attachked by mob but did not stop him from damaging cars. Police in charge at the PAT thrashing scene must be made equally responsible for Gulu's doing..
@PTI UK: What are you talking about, who fired at the police in Lahore? That was no "Laal Masjid" armed extremist claiming their illegally occupied territory.
@Ch. Allah Daad: Because you need new glasses prescribed sir, your eyesight is getting weaker by the day.
@PTI UK: Very good advice from my PMLN brother. Can I add some more useful information?
1) If you see someone like gullu butt, please stay out of his way. Even if he hits you, it will be your fault...sorry, but this is just the way it is. 2) Even if you don't fire at the police, and there is no evidence that you fired at the police,when the police fire back, it will be your fault....sorry, but this is just the way it is. But don't worry, if you are killed, our CM will give your family a big cash bonus (no one will ever take responsibility for your murder, but hey your family will be rich!) 3) If you see police with heavy machinery at 2am , don't panic...this is quite normal. Punjab govt has decided that 2am is the best time to get work such as this done because most people are unaware or sleeping...see how considerate our punjab govt is about our welfare? Truly we are blessed to have Shahbaz Sharif as our CM!
My dear Insafiaans. Please take the following lesson from this episode:
Although you should continue to use the filthy language against police......... but never ever fire at them!
There is an unwritten rule among all law enforcement agencies globally that when they are fired upon then they will fire back to kill. In UK police even fire, when a dummy pistol is pointed at police....as happened in Duggan murder case recently
So please take care and lets restict ourselves to galum galoch only agaisnt police otherwise there may not be enough of us left to bring Soonami
Should serve him chitter in same manner he was smashing other's property.
Gullu butt did nothing wrong why arrest him?
@Umar: But in last few days, no one is as popular on social media as Active PMLN worker Gullu Butt! PMLN supporters must be so proud, where Maryam Nawaz could not overtake IK on social media, Gullu butt has done it!
@PMLNPatriot: Sorry bro! You don't know anything yet about your party, because you don't know Gullo But?
Everyone who was involved beating gullu butt at police station/court should also be arrested and put behind bars for sometime.
@salman: You mean one of PML-N thugs was beaten up by the citizens of Lahore. Why should the police protect him now, they were abetting his vandalism and looked the way while he was doing the destruction, Oh no, the police were looking right at him and that include the SP and DSP and I am surprised that they were not applauding. How could citizens feel safe when the Chief Minister has politicized the police to the extent that they were looking at the vandalism going on front of them and were scared to arrest the man on the spot because he was an active member of PML-N. Chief Minister sould be liable for all the vandalism as well the killing of those people. The police over reacted because they were instructed to do so by their higher ups.
Gullu on rampage and police watching ? Gullu surely must be king's man.
I reckon Gullu would be a better batsman then Afridi, why doesnt PCB try him out?
@Umar: why are you getting so personal? This is the best way to achieve Insaaf in 21st century. Infact when IK becomes PM we should abolish the criminal justice system and replace it with the system adopted for Gullu Butt.
50% of savings from dismantling criminal justice system can be used for installing more cameras and CCTV system to catch criminals....punishment will be provided free by the crowd........
Remaining 50% savings can be used to improve our economy and provide extra-curricular activities for the youth like concerts etc
Who is reimbursing the car owners plus taxi drivers and others for all the property damage. Yes the photo-opp of 3 mill was announced by the CM for death etc. What a shame and it was on live TV.
@JA: said "Shahbaz Sharif and Rana Sanaullah also deserve same treatment"
Very well said. This is why we created PTI and this is how we will spread Insaf in the whole country and infact treat all PMLN leadesrship like this.
We will then be known in the entire world as the nation where Insaf happens at the speed of Soonami
If thrashing of Gullu Butt is okay (as claimed by many here) then how come phaintee by police for Qadri clan was wrong??
Only that a few got killed by police phantee...... but that doesnt matter as zindagi or mot Allah ke hath mein hai
good news, especially for cars .
So effectively he has been provided security by giving the judicial remand. How the same police can investigate when they didn't stop him from that "Ghunda gardi"?
Who will take action against the police?
Gullu Butt is a national hero. He represents everything that the Pakistani youth stands for. He is a born cricketer - he breaks glass with pull strokes. He is courageous. He is my hero !!
Gullu Butt... sounds a lot like Maula Jhatt
The security situation of Lahore and the environment of freedom of expression has given enough strength to the media to expose Gullu Butt of PMLN. Of course, the same media has been too scared to expose the Gullu Butts of PTI in Peshawar, PPP in Sindh and MQM in Karachi.
@JA: If Mian and Rana deserve the same treatment then why not all Qadris. I don't see any difference in Qadri supporters and Gullu Butts.
Gullu Butt is a Nutt case just like his keepers, the Sharif Brothers. Don't waste time on talking about this mad person.
Gullu Butt bhai for PCB Chairman...
After 35 punctures, time for 35 windshields:p
So after MQM and PPP, PML(N) also started violance.
@Gultasib Khan: which comment, there are more then one people posting as salman :)
There are thousands of 'Gullu Butts' in PML (N), its only one who was caught by the camera's eye. If You have observed his body language, you might have noticed that he was the Commander of anarchism, supported by his Big Bosses, I mean Mian Brothers. Otherwise, how come the police officer on duty was persuading Butt sahib to stop his destructive activities and was apologetic. On the other hand, Sharrif Family has always been sponsoring this methodology for controlling people beyond law and order jurisdictions. what else does the 'so-called Khadim Punjab' needs to step down when the people against whom the FIR were registered are released. It nullified the action and its hostility. Shame on you, PML (N)! You reminded me your second tenure when your shebab violated all the civic rules and vandalised the Supreme Court of Pakistan under the slogan "Nawaz Sharif Ka EIK Ishara, Hazar Huwa Lahoo Humara'.
on reading the above comments from TTPTI social media comments - one can understand why manic person imran is so popular on social media...
@Ahmed: yes let imran come out without his touts and the world will see how the football is made from oportunist politicians
@Liberal: Lets first begin with PTI oportunist leadership
@logic: Probably true for a place where there is law and illegal/legal act classifications. In a jungle its survival of the fittest, there is no law or legal or illegal act and it is about time people in Pakistan start to realise that rather than getting killed on streets and roads for no reason.
Shahbaz Sharif and Rana Sanaullah also deserve same treatment
shame on you.most pathetic and ii-considered statement.@salman:
Gultasib. UK
They send him to court without any security precautions. Its obvious that they wanted Mob to attack him so as to wash away with the heap of dirt he has brought on Punjab Govt .
Yet another failure of Punjab Police..........
All he wanted to do was play with cars :(
@Muhammad Saim: "state within a state"
O bhai!!! Where is the state?? tell me please? if state means murdering innocent people then there is NO state whatsoever!!
Now Gullu Butt have been arrested, Surprise move to calm down the general public..Dont worry PML-N supporters, nothing will happen...When the things get calm down he will be back again.
Your Highness PM Nawaz Sharif.
@salman:
Salman...the whole country need reforms including we the individuals....,not only police....we the individual literate people have gone literally bankrupt.....
So violence for violence? How is that civilised? Best strategy would have been to just arrest him for public vandalism, and give him a good 5 years in jail to teach him a lesson.
I cant say he doesnt deserve it but how does a mob get hold of a guy who is in police custody?
This is disgraceful and gives credence to the allegations that the Punjab Police is now an wing of the PMLN.
This photograph is so telling.
this not the only one,there hundreds of Gullo Butt on payroll of Shareef brothers..
@Enemy of MUNAFIQs
because the Shareefs always pay their debt.
One illegal act is no excuse for another illegal act.....
This was basically a ploy to stop him from appearing in the court in case he gives out the truth in his statement to the court regarding his actions and it may eventually land the Punjab Govt in trouble. PML(N) also seems to be following in MQM's foot steps!
He should be tried in the court of law, not like this. Dislike
He's only a worker working on the orders of his bosses. Get the bosses and punish them. Why go after small fry!!!
Atleast now i now why we are termed as third world country, backward race and uncivlised socitey by rest of the world.
Difference is very evident.
Hearing that he was actually beaten up at court. Another failure of Shahbaz sharif lef Punjab police! If they can't even keep suspects they have arrested safe, how will they keep general public safe? Police reforms are badly needed...
Mob justice is always brutal and we must avoid it.
But i must mention that the news made me happy in this particular case!!
Thats a good stance. Why cant he open for the Pakistan cricket team. He already wields the club like an expert
There is no difference between PAT and Gullu Butt. Violent and illiterate.
Gullu Butt gone viral. Keep up the good work Gullu
He was taken to court by Punjab Police as per rule of law when this incident took place. Shame on those who are going point scoring on the issue and don't even know where incident took place
I am PMLN supporter, But great to see gullu butt deserving treatment, there is no Place in party for people like Gullu Butt.
Let his bosses come in public once without any security. We all know what we will do to them.
Every one in this drama is Gullu Butt...shame on all. Proud of breaking the law. If Gullu Butt actions are not justified then beating him is as much unjust and cruel.
Qadri is creating state within state.
I am sure now police want to get rid of him and if some body kill the Gull Butt it will be win win situation for Govt
Good. Please do the same with the top leadership of PML-N too.
Good...he should be beaten once more
i am surprised that he is not in the locker!
Good to know....
His head should be smashed as he smashed the cars of innocent public. Shahbaz Sharif and his gang should stop protecting this thug.
YOUR BRAVERY WOULD NOT BE WASTED ! GREAT GULU BUTT - YOU are The Next PIA / NADRA / STEEL / PEMRA Chairman / LAW MINISTER / Persident PML-N AMAN Committee
what goes around comes around! But why was he not arrested and kept safe by police? I condem vigalante actions and give my sympathy to all PMLN supporters on the ocassion of one of thier members being beaten up.
But what we heard that he was arrested by the Police?. How come he was roaming freely after the arrest on the streets of Lahore.?. Where is the claim of Shahbaz Sharif who ordered to arrest him? It seems in Pakistan the Law only applies on the innocent and the weak. Shame on Shahbaz Sharif and Rana Sanaullah as now i have a firm belief that they are not only the trouble makers but they are protecting the corrupt as well.
