Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah - Geo News screen grab 

LAHORE: Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah on Monday said that some media personnel are considered to be credible, however, sources of some media personalities need to be questioned.

The Punjab Law Minister was addressing a press conference in the provincial capital. 

"Dr. Shahid Masood is a pawn, there are other powers behind him," claimed the provincial law minister. 

The provincial law minister said he has requested the chief justice to take notice of the trend of such baseless news, adding that an impression is being given that a ring was involved in Kasur after the main suspect, Imran Ali, was arrested in Zainab's murder.

Sanaullah added that this is tantamount to misleading the entire nation. "I want the matter to reach its logical conclusion." 

Last week, Dr Shahid Masood had alleged that Imran Ali, the main accused in the Zainab murder case, had dozens of bank accounts.

The State Bank, in a letter to the joint investigation team formed to probe the rape and murder of Zainab, confirmed that suspect Imran Ali had no commercial bank accounts. 

Earlier, a special anti-terrorism court (ATC) handed Imran to police on a 14-day physical remand. During proceedings, the accused admitted to the rape and murder of Zainab.
