KAMONKI: Speaker Punjab Assembly Rana Iqbal and Law Minister Rana Sanaullah on Monday said the investigation into Rana Shamshad murder case was underway, assuring that his killers will be brought to justice.

Talking to newsmen after offering condolences to slain lawmaker’s family, Rana Iqbal said the provincial government will not interfere into the interrogation of the case.
