While talking to journalists, Gill suspected that someone had visited his room during his incarceration as there were changes in it, adding: “I have no clue as to why his wallet was found in the room as my driver used to keep it”. He also said that the place of his passports was also changed.
Police asked him about the pistol and red diary recovered from his room. “I don’t know about them,” he replied and disowned the both things.
Police said that a case of the pistol will be registered against the PTI leader.
Shahbaz Gill confirmed to media that he was sexually abused during the custody as it was being claimed by PTI chief Imran Khan.
Later, police took Gill to his room in the Punjab House but found nothing there.
