Provincial Assembly Member Rana Shoaib Idrees and 17 others were acquitted by an anti-terrorism court of charges of attacking a police station, injuring policemen and damaging property on Saturday.
According to prosecution, Khurarianwala police had registered an FIR against MPA Rana Shoaib Idrees and 17 others for attacking the police station, damaging the police station, creating a law and order situation, rioting and injuring a sub inspector and two others on July 19.
Idrees’s counsel told court that in the initial report, the MPA had been nominated as a suspect but had been declared innocent in subsequent reports. He said Khurarianwala police had wrongly implicated him in a false case.
