A heavy police contingent raided the house of PPPP MPA Jahanzeb Imtiaz Gill at Civil Lines to arrest his brother here on Saturday night. According to reports, the police contingent dashed its entry into the house by scaling the boundary walls and entered the rooms without any search warrants.
The team questioned Imtiaz Gill, father of the MPA, about his son Naveed Gill and also searched some rooms of the house and allegedly harassed the inmates. After a thorough search of the house, the police team returned empty-handed.
The MPA alleged that the raid had been conducted by the police just to stop him from raising voice in the media and on floor of the Punjab Assembly against 'misdeeds' of the government.
He said the police harassed his family in his absence, which was highly uncalled for.
PPP Punjab secretary-general Rana Aftab Ahmad Khan, an MPA, also criticised the police for raiding the house of the opposition MPA. Such tactics, he said, could not force the PPP leaders from exposing the true face of the rulers.
