Police today filed a First Information Report (FIR) against seven arrested suspects for attacking a vigil in Lahore held to commemorate the death anniversary of slain Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer.
The late governor was killed by his bodyguard in 2011 in Islamabad for demanding amendments in the widely misused blasphemy laws.
The FIR against the suspects were lodged at the Gulberg Police Station after they were identified with the help of video footage.
The armed men – riding motorbikes – attacked the members of civil society who had gathered at Liberty Chowk to mark Taseer’s fourth death anniversary and tore down the portraits of the former governor.
