LAHORE: Former law minister Punjab Rana Sanaullah appeared before the special Control of Narcotic Substances (CNS) Court on Monday, where his family requested that he should be allowed medicines from his home due to his cardiac issue.

Earlier, PML-N leader Shehbaz Sharif came to the court to meet Rana Sanaullah but police didn’t allow his vehicle inside.

PML-N workers also brawled with police outside the courtroom.
