The Nankana Sahib police arrested 60 suspects involved in the lynching of a man outside the police station. Several police teams launched a massive crackdown at the residences, business points, and other places to round up the suspects.
Sheikhupura Regional Police Officer (RPO) Babar Sarfraz Alpa said some 17 suspects/attackers have been nominated in the FIR.
He said the police were very clear in its action against the attackers whether they were from any religious organsation or a political party. “Raids are underway for the arrest of others,” Nankana Sahib District Police Officer (DPO) Asim Iftikhar told.
He said that the Warburton police lodged two first information reports, one against hundreds of suspects who attacked the police station and murdered Waris and the other for desecrating the Holy Quran.
He said that the police teams seized 923 video clips of the incident, and identified and arrested 60 of them, adding that the identification of more suspects was in process.
The forensic analysis of the clips, mostly recorded with mobile phones, was also done.
