LHC orders action against two MPAs LAHORE: The Lahore High Court Thursday ordered police to take action against two members of Punjab Assembly in connection with torturing a woman over some land dispute.
PML-N’s MPAs Naveed Anjum and Allah Rakha are facing charges of torturing a woman because of property dispute.
On the other hand, Anjum said the woman was trying to defame them through a smear campaign.
Shaheen Kanval, a resident of Lahore, had lodged an FIR at Qila Gojar Singh Police Station against Naveed Anjum and Allah Rakha, alleged she was tortured by the two lawmakers.
On the non-arrest of accused, she later approached the session court, which directed the police to take action as per law.
Speaking to Geo, the accused MPAs said that the police had dismissed the case over false accusations. “Kanval is my relative and is trying to defame me and my colleague over personal grudge,” Anjum said.
