According to details, Zubair Hussain and Naseullah reached Lahore on a private airlines flight from Sharjah on Monday night. A scuffle broke out between the two passengers and customs officials over clearance of luggage during which the customs officials brutally tortured Zubair Hussain and Naseullah.

On the other hand, customs officers Abbas Hussain and Muhammad Habib denied the allegations.

The airport security force police and higher officials of customs department reached the spot but remained mere spectators as the customs officials brutally tortured Zubair Hussain and Naseullah.
