PML-N MPA Mian Naveed Ali arrested after LHC cancels bail

PML-N MPA Mian Naveed Ali has been arrested from the courtroom after the Lahore High Court (LHC) cancelled his bail in a case pertaining to slapping Assistant Commissioner Pakpattan, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

LHC’s Justice Shahram Sarwar Chaudhry on Wednesday cancelled the bail petition of the PML-N MPA and his father.

However, the court has confirmed the bail-before-arrest petition of Mian Naveed’s father Rana Ahmed Ali and Ghulam Mustafa who are co-accused in the case. 

It may be mentioned that last year in November, then Assistant Commissioner (AC) Pakpattan Khawar Bashir was allegedly manhandled and slapped by MPA Mian Naveed Ali and his private security guards when he fined the MPA over violation of one-dish rule at a wedding ceremony at his own marriage hall.
