The Special Investigative Committee reports that a forensic examination has been assigned and police forces have been instructed to take measures to identify the person who attacked and beat up the opposition lawmaker in front of his house last evening. The examination of the site revealed that there was a surveillance camera in the area that might have fixed the assailant.
