Nawaz Sharif's Guard severely thrashed private TV channel's cameraman

The security guards of former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif on Monday severely thrashed cameraman of a private television channel.

The cameraman of a local TV channel was recording footage of the former prime minister while he was leaving the National Assembly when his guards intercepted him and attacked him.

The video footage available shows the guards chasing the cameraman, who ran to save himself but was eventually brought to the ground with kicks to the face.

Cameraman Wajid Ali fell unconscious following the attack. He was rushed to the Poly Clinic hospital in an unconscious condition.

The journalists caught the one of the guards and handed him over to the Parliament House security, while the other managed to flee.

The journalist community also staged a protest demonstration and demanded an action against the PML-N leadership.

NA Speaker notice

National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser took notice of the incident and directed to launch an investigation.

He also barred the entry of private guards in the Parliament House premises.
