Two foreigners and a couple arrested by Defence A Police from a dance party in GG Block of Defence Housing Authority (DHA) late on Saturday night were released on orders from none other than Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif himself. According to local police sources, Defence A Police had detained two Americans, a Pakistani couple, the host of the dance party Imran and his three servants namely Riaz, Khaleel and Ramzan in a late night raid on Saturday at a house in GG Block of DHA.
The arrested people were immediately moved to Defence Police Station. Sources claimed, however, that 14 people had been arrested in the raid, including 4 women, but charges were filed against only four of them. Eyewitnesses said police had also manhandled the foreigners and even brutally assaulted a US Consulate employee, breaking his ribs. However, police were later forced to release the foreigners and the couple when Shahbaz intervened with a phone call from Islamabad.
