They drove away with the vehicle towards Rawalpindi Bypass intersection where Motorway police had already set up a picket after receiving information. Seeing police, the outlaws turned the vehicle and tried to flee. They also opened fire on police when they were given a chase. They managed to escape when their car struck with a divider. Later, the police recovered the car and illicit arms from it.
A case has been registered.
RECOVERED: A bailiff raided the Aroop police station and recovered a woman and her son from the lock-up and produced them before court here on Thursday.
Reports said that police picked up Ruqqaya Bibi and her son Munir from their house and detained them without registering a case against them. The heirs moved the court while the district and sessions judge deputed the bailiff to recover detainees.
The judge summoned the SHO concerned and the investigation officer on the next hearing date on Friday.
