MULTAN: Khangarh police on Tuesday arrested a man who had announced a Rs20 million prize for whoever would kill Governor Salmaan Taseer. Sardar Ebaad Dogar had made the announcement at a rally organised last Friday against proposals to amend or reform the blasphemy laws.

Talking to The Express Tribune after the rally, Dogar had said that he felt no embarrassment in making the announcement.

He had said he would raise the reward to Rs30 million if someone from Khangarh would kill Taseer.

Dogar had served as Khangarh’s district nazim on a Pakistan Muslim League-Q ticket. He was accused of association with banned organisation Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan before joining the PML-Q.

The police have shifted him to unidentified location and started interrogation.
