LAHORE-
A police tout, Gullu Butt, who was responsible for damaging more than 20 vehicles belonging to citizens during the police’s violent attack on Tehreek Minhajul Quran (TMQ) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) workers in Lahore’s Faisal Town locality, was sent on a 14-day judicial remand on the orders of the magistrate.
He was brought to the court for the second time today in police custody with tight security.
Earlier today he was beaten by lawyers and citizens when he arrived at a local court for a hearing.
The beatings led to Butt fainting and he was rushed to a hospital in a rickshaw.
During Tuesday’s clash between PAT workers and police, Butt was seen dancing around after vandalising public property in the prensence of police personnel. His ‘services’ were acknowledged by none other than Model Town Superintendent of Police Tariq Aziz, who embraced him and also patted his back.
On Thursday, the alleged PML-N worker, who was caught taking active part in the clashes against Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) workers, was handcuffed and beaten up outside a session court in Model Town.
The police eventually intervened and shifted Butt to an undisclosed location after he fainted and sustained injuries. Police also claimed to recover his ‘deadly weapon’ –a stick, with which he had broken windscreens of several vehicles during bloody clashed between police and PAT workers.
Totally deserved it.
Not him alone the SSP and DIG deserve it too. What pathetic behaviour and performance by the Punjab Police
Must have paid ppl to beat him so it can seem that he got punished. Also this was another way to skip court by pretending to lose consciousness. What a drama. So much politics. Look at the police saving him while torturing innocent people the other day.. Media is pathetic too; calls these few beatings torture which gives an impression that he got deserved punishment
14 day remand means that in two weeks public and media will forget about him and go on to the next story. It's a way to let things cool down before he is set free and rewarded by pml(n) for being a good "puppy". Seen it too many times before.
How can breaking glass be equated to assault on a person? Specially a handcuffed person on his way to court? The people who beat up others when they are helpless are vile cowards.
