A Lahore sessions court ordered the arrest of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MNA, Sohail Shaukat Butt. He is a suspect in the murder of a resident from Batapur. Butt won the elections in constituency NA- 130 beating Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) contestant, Samina Khalid Ghurki. In 2012, Butt and his accomplices were accused of shooting Hafiz Tariq Muavia, a former Lashkar-i-Jhangvi member, and his guard on Ring Road. Muavia and his guard, Shoaib Akram, 23, died on the spot, while another guard, Saleem, and Muavia’s driver, Ashfaq, were taken to Mayo Hospital, where they were reported to be in a critical condition. Police had initially said that there was evidence of an old enmity between Butt and Muavia. He said Muavia was imprisoned for six years in 2010, for killing a party worker, Arif Butt, who was related to Sohail Shaukat Butt. Muavia was granted bail.
