Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz’s (PML-N) MNA Chaudhry Abid Raza was stopped by Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials from travelling outside the country.

The MNA was travelling to Turkish capital Istanbul. He was stopped from travelling abroad after 90 minutes of questioning by the investigation authority.

Earlier, a court had found Raza guilty of the murder of six people in Gujrat in 1998. Anti-Terrorism Court, in 2003, had handed death sentence to the culprits in the case.

However, the PML-N parliamentarian was released on bail following a settlement with the aggrieved party.

Supreme Court of Pakistan later took notice of his release and ordered the Lahore High Court to look into the case. The court had remarked that any criminal, who has terrorism charges against him, could not be released.

The higher court had awarded life sentence to Raza but the culprit escaped from the court premises.
