LAHORE, Aug 17: The families of three suspected criminals on Wednesday gave a tough time to the police after the Lahore High Court dismissed their bail pleas.

In the first incident, Alam Sher and Talib Husain of Hafizabad, who are under trial for their involvement in robberies, appeared in the court for the hearing of their bail plea. The court rejected their bail plea and directed the police to arrest them.

Their families put up resistance and also scuffled with the policemen when the police tried to arrest them. However, the police arrested them.

In the second case, Osama of Toba Tek Singh appeared in the court to get bail in a murder case, but the court rejected his plea. As soon as the court denied him bail, his family and friends tried to free him from the police custody.

However, the police arrested him and shifted him to the Old Anarkali Police Station.
