Officer Ahmad Bahā’ al-Dīn of al-Qalyubia Security Department suspected a car parked in a dark spot, 50 meters away from al-‘Abd Mall in the city of Tūkh, on the agricultural highway, at 08:00 pm on Thursday (June 7).

It turned out that the car was boarded by Salafī legislator ‘Alī Wanīs of al-Nūr Party, the second largest bloc in the People’s Assembly, and a young girl seen together in an indecent act.

The prosecutor heard policeman Māhir Muhammad Nasr and police captain Ahmad Bahā' who both confirmed the reports. Wanīs dismissed the charges and said he was trying to recover her from a state of unconsciousness.

Salafī supporters started a march in Banhā led by Wanīs and mingled with another led by former presidential candidate 'Abd al-Mun'im Abū al-Futūh, chanting slogans against the military rule. [Salāh al-Wakīl and Dīnā al-Husaynī, al-Wafd, June 9, p. 1] Read text in Arabic
