LAHORE: Some lawyers thrashed a police official allegedly for blocking their way outside the Lahore Judicial Complex entrance on Friday.
Eyewitness said some passersby also joined the black jacketed group and roughed up the constable. The policeman belonged to Civil Lines police station. He kept asking the lawyers for mercy but to no avail. Some other lawyers intervened and rescued the police official.
A court-reader and other staff at the sessions court have already protested against rowdy behaviour of the lawyers. They also held a demonstration outside the Lahore High Court a couple of days ago.
