During today's hearing, Shahbaz Gill pulled up his shirt and showed his back to the magistrate and claimed he has been severely tortured and no medical checkup has been done.
Earlier, reports emerged that PTI Chairman and former premier Imran Khan "secretly" contacted US Ambassador to Pakistan. The alleged contact is being considered a "U-turn" by Imran Khan and his US bashing.
Islamabad police said the process of raiding Shahbaz Gill's driver's house is legal and warned action will also be taken against those who are spreading false news and incitement among the people.
Interestingly, the promotion of the officer has come under question since he is one of the main accused in the horrific Model Town massacre of 2014. Also, PTI had vowed to take action against those responsible for events marked by police brutality.
The police conducted a raid at the house of PTI leader Dr. Shahbaz Gill's assistant. The police allegedly tortured the women in his house and took them to the police station in the middle of the night.
PTI Additional Secretary-General Omar Ayub filed the petition where he asked the court to nullify the ECP ruling. He also requested the court revoke ECP's show-cause notice sent to PTI Chairperson Imran Khan.
The return of militants in Swat is raising concern as the area was previously a Taliban stronghold where TV was banned, public hangings were not uncommon, and girls were barred from going to school.
