MURIDKE – A man involved in the accident involving the vehicle of PTI leader Dr Shahbaz Gill on motorway was arrested on Friday near Lahore.
However, the Muridke Police ruled out the allegations that it was planned attack on the Gill who served as special assistant to former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The driver, identified as Wajahat, took the vehicle on rent from a Muridke-based owner named Tahir Nazeer a day before the road mishap. The accused told police that he fled from the scene out of fear.
In its initial findings, police said that the incident happened due to the negligence of the driver, rejecting Gill’s claims that it was a targeted attack.
Wajahat has been handed over to Hafizabad Police for further interrogation into the matter.
A day earlier, Gill met with a road accident on the Islamabad-Lahore motorway (M2) when his vehicle was rear-ended by another car.
Soon after the incident, the PTI leader took to his official Twitter, saying his vehicle was chased and deliberately slammed in wake of a plan, however, he didn’t name anyone.
Gill said he would continue to stand by PTI Chief, saying I want to tell the nation that they will also attack Imran Khan in an attempt to silence us at any cost.
