CHARSADDA – The National Highways and Motorway Police (NH&MP) on Sunday issued a Rs750 fine ticket to Pashtunkhwa Awami Milli Party Chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai for overspeeding.

The motorway police intercepted the two vehicles belonging to Sadiq heading to Islamabad from Lahore near Khanqa Dogran for violating the traffic rules and imposed a fine of Rs2,500.
