A Rawalpindi union council chairman has accused a lawmaker and his nephew of filing fake cases against him as part of a political victimization campaign just because he helped organise a large rally for the opposition party.

This was claimed by Rawalpindi Union Council (UC) 37 - Dhoke Lala and Safdarabad Chairman Lateef Zar Khan on Wednesday.
Lateef alleged that police officers had raided his house without any women officers and had violated the sanctity of his personal space. Moreover, he claimed that his house was searched without any search warrants.

He further said that the police tried to arrest him but locals intervened and foiled their efforts.

He demanded that Lahore High Court Chief Justice, Punjab Chief Secretary and the Inspector General (IG) of Punjab Police take notice of this situation.

Last week, the Ratta Amral police, acting on a tip-off about the presence of gamblers, had raided Gulab Zar Khan's residence.

However, locals stopped the police from arresting the suspects including Zulfiqar Khan, Ahmed Zar Khan, Javed, Musa, Qamar and Lateef and allowed them to escape in two vehicles.
