Rana Sanaullah acquitted in 15kg heroin recovery case
A drug court in Lahore on Saturday acquitted Interior Minister and senior PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah in a 15kg heroin recovery case.
While referring to the PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry’s statement that the case against Mr. Sanaullah was fabricated, the PML-N leader asked the court to remove the case against him.
In July last, Mr. Chaudhry in a talk show admitted the drug smuggling case against the PML-N bigwig was fabricated and shouldn’t have been lodged.
On July 1, 2019, Mr. Sanaullah was arrested by the ANF Lahore team while he was traveling from Faisalabad to Lahore near the Ravi Toll Plaza on the motorway, claiming to have recovered 15kg of heroin from his vehicle.
An FIR was registered against him under sections 186,189 and 353 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), and sections 15, 17 of 9C of the Control of Narcotic Substances Act (CNSA) 1997.
