Four-time MNA from South Punjab, Dasti claims his children and family were kept hostage for hours. Officials also beat them, alleged Dasti in his video message.
He claims that he is subjected to this maltreatment because he belongs to the poor class and is not influential or powerful. Dasti claims the officials took with them CCTV and mobile phones as well.
