Four held after ‘attack’ on anchorperson
LAHORE: The Defence police on Saturday arrested four men for alleged attack on anchorperson Iqrarul Hassan.
The police acted shortly after the anchorperson uploaded his photo on social media showing an injury on his face. He claimed that unidentified people had attacked him at Wateen Chowk, DHA.
Mr Iqrar said the attackers were armed. The motive behind the attack was yet to be ascertained, he said. His tweet went viral, compelling the Lahore police to take action. The arrests came after CCPO Umar Sheikh took notice of the incident and ordered action.
Police said a heated exchange of words between the two sides preceded the attack. The anchorperson’s vehicle had run into a wedding cavalcade and a heated exchange between him and the driver in another car led to the physical attack. Police said this was a case of road rage.
Lahore DIG Operations Ashfaq Ahmad said the FIR would be lodged once medical examination of Iqrarul Hassan was done.
