LAHORE: Garden Town police arrested a security guard of Jinnah Hospital for torturing and injuring three men of a non-government organisation (NGO) on Tuesday.
Witnesses said the NGO sent its employees to Jinnah Hospital to distribute free food among the patients. Guard Ali Hasan stopped them at the gate and the visitors lodged a protest on undue delay in allowing them to enter the hospital.
After an exchange of harsh words, the guard resorted to aerial firing and also called his colleagues who later tortured the NGO workers.
The police reached the hospital and arrested Ali Hasan.
The security guards later gathered outside the office of the Allama Iqbal Medical College principal and lodged a protest for the release of their colleague.
