CJP takes notice of MPA’s attack on citizen

Author: News Desk

Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, on Saturday, took notice of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPA Imran Ali Shah’s physical assault of citizen Dawood Chauhan.

The chief justice directed the MPA Imran Ali Shah and citizen Dawood Chauhan to submit a report on the incident within the next three days.

A video of the MPA thrashing Chauhan went viral earlier this week. Shah, who was elected MPA from Karachi’s PS-129 constituency during the July 25 elections, was caught on video slapping Chauhan multiple times in the middle of a road in Karachi.

The video also showed the MPA’s guards threatening the man.

On Thursday, PTI’s Sindh Chapter suspended Imran Ali Shah for a month. According to PTI leader Ali Zaidi, Shah had been suspended till the party’s disciplinary committee conducted an inquiry against him. “The disciplinary committee has been asked to conclude the inquiry within a month,” Zaidi said.

The PTI MPA had released a video claiming that he was driving when he saw a man repeatedly hitting a poor man’s car. He alleged that he had stopped him.
