Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has rejected allegations of torture on Shahbaz Gill the close aide of PTI chief Imran Khan in police custody.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad on Sunday, he said the story of torture on Shahbaz Gill has been orchestrated to divert attention from original matter.

The Interior Minister said an FIR was lodged against Shahbaz Gill as per law for instigating army officers and soldiers, as the state cannot tolerate such malicious conspiracies.  

He said Shahbaz Gill was produced before judicial magistrate within twenty four hours and he was absolutely fine and did not complain of torture.

The minister said the medical board did not indicate any torture in its report on 11th of this month.
