Gujranwala: The judicial magistrate on Tuesday issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s advisor on political affairs Rana Sanaullah.
The senior ruling PML-N leader is accused of allegedly running over policemen and trying to remove a container during a then-opposition rally in 2020.
Judicial Magistrate Sidra Gul Nawaz, while hearing the case registered at Satellite Town police station, directed the authorities to arrest the politician and produce him in court on December 12.
Sanaullah was named in a case filed in connection with a Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) rally held in the city on 16 October 2020.
The First Information Report (FIR) contains provisions of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) namely Sections 149, 147, 186, 353 and 324.
It should be noted that in this case, Salman Khalid Butt, Imran Khalid and several other accused, including leader of Pakistan Muslim League (N) and former federal minister Khurram Dastgir, have already been acquitted.
Earlier, the challan submitted by the police regarding Sanaullah was delayed.
The police had also submitted a report which was rejected by the court after which Sanaullah was summoned.
Today’s arrest warrant against the politician was issued due to his repeated absences.
