Muridke Police have arrested the man whose car had hit the rear side of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill’s car on Lahore-Islamabad motorway and later handed him over to Hafizabad police for interrogation late Thursday night, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Friday.
In his initial statement to the CIA police, Wajahat Ali said that he was going to Islamabad with his family on Thursday in a car which he rented from Muridke.
“When I reached the motorway, my car collided with that of Gill’s by mistake,” he said, and regretted that the incident was given a political angle by some elements.
Shahbaz Gill was injured in the accident as his car turned turtle at Salam Interchange on Motorway when he was travelling from Lahore to Islamabad.
