LAHORE:
In a late night development, police conducted over 100 raids at the houses of notorious ‘criminals’ and arrested over 97 suspects on Wednesday.
The raiding teams also recovered arms and ammunition in a large quantity.
Opposing the action of the police against ‘proclaimed offenders and those harbouring criminals’, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Sohail Shaukat Butt said the law enforcement agencies were forcing people to shift their loyalties towards the current government.
He accused the police of heavy firing at his house which broke several windowpanes. He claimed that the cops also arrested his domestic helpers.
