ATTOCK, April 22: Eleven persons including a UC nazim were booked for allegedly creating hurdles in installation of a mobile phone tower.

The Attock Saddar Police have registered a case against 11 persons including Nazim Union Council (UC) Bahadar Khan on creating illegal hurdles/interference for a person on installing mobile phone tower on his land.

Police said that Manzoor Ahmed resident of Sanjwal village reported to Attock Saddar police station that he had made a contract with a mobile phone company to install its tower on his land.

But his rival Nazim UC Bahadar Khan, who belongs to PML-Q, along with accomplices had allegedly started unnecessary hurdles in installation of the tower.

They had obtained stay order over the installation from a local court but, later on, the court withdrew it by refusing his point of view letting mobile company concerned resume its construction work for the installation of tower.

But the accused again started hurling threats at him and also attacked the company’s labourers, he alleged. —Correspondent
