The anti terror court was under tight security during the trial of the arrested workers of PAT who are accused of assaulting police personnel.

Due to the shortage of handcuffs the accused were tied with ropes.

The court directed for the provision of medical facilities to all accused while it ordered for immediate medical attention to the injured accused.
