When the involvement of a state minister came to light, no DB official agreed to give a statement on the issue. However, a source revealed that ADC Fazle Ilahi was mediating the repayment process.
Despite repeated calls on his mobile phone, the police officer could not be contacted.
The three victims along with Abu Sufiyan went to the residence of the Minister of State on Minto Road in the capital on Thursday. He alleged that his request for repayment led to a dispute and he faced attack there.
At one stage, Abu Sufyan crossed the wall and entered the adjacent DB office, while two others managed to flee the scene through the entrance.
