LAHORE: A Joint Investigation Team (JIT) inquiring into the Model Town carnage will likely to record the statement of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore on Monday, ARY News reported.

According to sources, the JIT recorded statements of 85 witnesses, while 90 officials of the police department also appeared before the JIT and recorded their statements over the incident.
