LAHORE: The district and sessions court on Saturday sent 22 suspects allegedly involved in the lynching incident in Youhanabad on a three-day physical remand.

Police produced the suspects before the sessions judge due to unavailability of the anti-terrorism court judge concerned due to a meeting at the Lahore High Court regarding performance of special courts and police.
