As many as seven persons were reported injured in a road mishap that took place near Karak where a police vehicle in the convoy of Maulana Fazlur Rehman collided with a passenger bus.

According to reports, the Jamiat-Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief’s convoy was returning to Islamabad from Bannu on Monday after congratulating MMA’s winning candidate Zahid Akram Durrani in NA-35 Bannu by-election.

The police vehicle, which was part of the convoy, crashed into a bus which was going to Karachi from Peshawar.

Seven individuals, comprising cops and passengers, were injured in the road accident. The injured were admitted to DHQ Hospital in Karak.

Reports claimed that Fazl’s vehicle nearly escaped the accident. They added that Fazl later reached Islamabad safely.
