PMLN worker Gullu Butt beaten by angry mob in Lahore

THE EXPRESS TRIBUNE

Gullu Butt, active member of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and police tout, was beaten up by an angry mob in Lahore, Express News reported.

The development came 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.
