Police constitute committee to probe Talal Chaudry incident

A committee has been set up to probe an incident between Tallal Chaudry that left the PML-N leader injured in mysterious circumstances, local police said Sunday.

According to police, the four-member committee will record statements of both Chaudry and a woman who is said to be involved in the incident.

The committee was directed to submit an inquiry report within three days.

Chaudry, on the other hand, also spoke of the incident, asking media outlets to wait for him to "issue a detailed statement about the incident".

"The news about me being broadcast based on sources is not rooted in facts," he said on Twitter. "Until my position is presented, please do not run any news that may create misunderstandings and resentments.

He added that it had "nothing to do with any woman MNA" and requested the media to "understand the familial sensitivities pertaining to women".

"The honour and dignity of all mothers, sisters, and daughters should be taken care of. It's reprehensible for some government miscreants to politicise the incident," he stated.

Moreover, PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah said an investigation would decide whether the matter was a violation of party discipline or not but warned that Special Assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan on Political Communications Dr Shahbaz Gill "wishes to take the matter in the wrong direction".
