A murder case has been registered against Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his ministers and other top officials for their alleged involvement in the killing of anti-Government protesters here, police said on Wednesday.
The case was registered Tuesday night after a district judge ordered framing of murder charges against Sharif and others over the killing of protesters, the second criminal case to be filed against the embattled PM. Pakistan Awami Tehrik (PAT), led by fiery cleric Tahirul Qadri, had approached the court for registering of case. At least three people were killed and over 500 injured in clashes with police on August 30.
