Police lodged criminal charges against chief of banned Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi Sufi Muhammad on Sunday who helped negotiate a peace deal with the Swat Taliban, accusing him of aiding terrorism, sedition and conspiring against the government, report said on Sunday. The case against Sufi Muhammad was lodged in Saidu Sharif police station. Sufi is to be formally charged by a court, a move expected in the coming days. DPO Sajid Muhammad told a private news TV that the case was registered under terrorist act including 120-D, 121 and 124-A sections.
