ISLAMABAD: An elderly man was roughed up and tortured after scuffling with dissident PTI lawmaker Noor Alam Khan at a private hotel.
Noor Alam was having iftar at a local hotel with PPP leaders Nadeem Afzal Chan, Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar and Faisal Karim Kundi when the incident occurred.
An elderly man allegedly abused the PTI lawmaker in Pashto and accused him of being a turncoat. He was told by Noor Alam to stop as it was a family gathering and he should not spoil it. However, the man continued to hurl abuses at the lawmaker.
Suddenly Noor lost his cool and punched him, leading to a scuffle between the two. A video of the incident also shows PPP leaders Khokhar and Kundi also beating up the elderly man and throwing a bottle at him.

Noor Alam was among the 20 dissident PTI MNAs who had decided to support the opposition in its no-confidence motion against their party leader Imran Khan. Noor Alam, a former PPP member had joined the PTI ahead of the last elections.
This was not the first time that Noor Alam came under fire for his decision to go against Imran Khan. On March 19, two people threatened him for showing reservations against the PTI chief ahead of the voting on the no-confidence motion.
In a viral video, the two men could be seen abusing and threatening the PTI’s dissident lawmaker at a hotel in Islamabad. The two men were reportedly leaders of the PTI’s Canada chapter who came to Islamabad to attend an overseas convention.
