On June 17, 2014, at least 14 people were killed and over 100 sustained injuries when the Punjab Police opened fire on Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) workers during an anti-encroachment operation outside the residence of Dr Tahirul Qadri in Lahore’s upscale neighborhood of Model Town.
The second five-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT) formed on Nov 17, 2014, finalised the investigation in May 2015, exonerating former chief minister and PML-N president Shahbaz Sharif and former provincial law minister Rana Sanaullah from charges of ordering or abetting the police action.
