KARACHI: A judicial magistrate ordered on Friday the release of six teachers on bail in a case pertaining to rioting and blocking a road during a protest.

The police had arrested six government schoolteachers from Ghotki district and also resorted to baton charge when they along with dozens of their colleagues tried to march towards the Sindh Assembly building on Thursday in protest against non-payment of salaries.

The investigating officer produced the detained suspects before a judicial magistrate (South) and the court ordered their release against a surety bond of Rs5,000 each since the offences were bailable.

They were booked at Artillery Maidan police station.
