Unidentified man throws egg on Capt Safdar in Peshawar

An unidentified man tried to throw egg on Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Captain (r) Mohammad Safdar Awan outside the building of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Thursday.

The incident took place at the Peshawar High Court (PHC) gate where an unidentified man tried to throw egg on Captain Safdar. Fortunately, Captain Safdar escaped the egg attack as it hit the nearby vehicle.

The man managed to run away from the scene after Captain Safdar picked a baton to hit him.

Earlier on March 15, PML-N workers had hurled ink at the Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Political Communication Dr Shahbaz Gill in the premises of the Lahore High Court (LHC) where he arrived to appear in a case. They had also tried to throw eggs at him but PTI workers present there thwarted the bid and thrashed the attackers.

However, Shahbaz Gill had forgiven men those who threw ink and eggs at him after the Lahore High Court (LHC) ordered action against them.

The high court heard the pre-arrest bail plea of Capt Safdar where the counsels of the petitioner concluded their arguments.

The lawyer representing Capt Safdar said that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) should provide the details of inquiries being carried out in one case. It is the violation of Article 13 for running parallel inquiries of a single case in Lahore and Peshawar, the counsel said.

Later, the court extended the bail of Captain Safdar and adjourned the hearing.
