LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Thursday directed Nishtar Town police to produce all suspects allegedly detained illegally for their involvement in lynching of two men at Youhanabad in retaliation for suicide attacks on churches.

Families of the arrested suspects filed petitions alleging that police took their men into custody without any reason and denied access to them. They said police did not produce the arrested men before any court of law.

The petitioners claimed that the arrested men had no link with the lynching incident.

The court directed the Nishtar Town SHO to produce all suspects on Friday (today).
