Some nine police officials and a journalist was injured at that time. Some 20 aggressors were arrested while 50 managed to escaped including Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar.
Khokhar has been accused of creating obstacles in the way of PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari’s arrest on June 10 in the fake accounts case.
