Police have lodged a first information report (FIR) into the firing on the convoy of PPP candidate for NA-157 Ali Musa Gilani on Thursday night.

The FIR was filed on the complaint of Rana Kamran Aslam, who informed the police that he was supporting Gilani junior for NA-157 and Rai Mansab Ali for PP-219.

He said a corner meeting of the two candidates was organised in the area. As soon as Gilani departed from the venue, Ijaz alias Jajji Dogar and some unidentified armed men came out and started hurling abuses and hit a vehicle of the convoy with clubs. Aslam alleged that Ijaz also opened fire.

For the nitty-gritty of the incident, come this way.
