ISLAMABAD, Aug. 18 (TNS): The chief justice Saqib Nisar on Saturday took notice of a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf lawmaker assaulting a citizen in the port city after videos of the incident went viral on social media.

Justice Nisar reportedly instructed the ruling party and the accused MPA, Imran Ali Shah, to submit a response on the incident within three days.

Within hours of the incident, the PTI issued Dr Shah a show-cause notice. The party said that his actions were not acceptable and asked him to present his version of the story. After facing criticism from the public as well as his own party, Dr Shah went to Dawood’s home and apologised to him.

Following his apology, Dawood’s son, Labib Chauhan took to social media to express his reservations.
