I state on oath that about 10/30 PM(Night) Abrahim and Rafique etc who are in relation my uncles along with other accused nominated in the said FIR NO.231/13 came to my house and told me that Shoukat that time fled away to see police party but now he may be at home. Let catch him and after beating we would hand over to Police.I was beguiled by them and we went to Mr. Shoukat's house,the outer door of house was locked inside the house, one accused Mr. Waqas climbed the wall by jumping and entered the house and unlocked the door, and all the accused entered in the house and i was standing outside of the house.I state on oath that as soon as they entered in the house they started shouting to catch Shoukat Masih and beat him and teach him lesson how he dared to confront the landlords. They started searching to Shoukat but in vain then they started beating to women and catching and holding them by their hair took them out from house by dragging into Bazaar (Market) and they tore their clothes and women became naked in front of public. After seeing this scene I fled away from the spot leaving behind the said accused Abrahim etc.
I state on oath that I did not enter in the house of Mr. Shoukat Masih and not committed any wrong thing with Christian women rather seeing that the accused persons have crossed the limits, skipped away.
