The Lahore High Court (LHC) directed the additional director-general of anti-corruption, Waqas Hassan, and other officials of the department and Punjab police to submit a written apology by May 5 over the matter of a raid at former provincial chief minister Pervez Elahi’s residence despite protective bail granted to him.

Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh was hearing a plea filed by Elahi seeking the initiation of contempt proceedings against anti-corruption and Punjab police officials for conducting a raid at his Zahoor Elahi residence.

As proceedings commenced, ADG Hassan, SSP Operations Sohaib Ashraf and SP Model Town Ammara Shirazi were present in the courtroom.

The law officer tendered an unconditional apology on behalf of the officials including Hassan. The law officer contended to the court that words used in the petition have nothing ‘to do with reality’.

To which, Elahi’s counsel advocate Amir Saeed Rawn claimed that they are ready to submit an affidavit that the words were used by the concerned anti-corruption official.
