KASUR, March 12: The Kasur, Pattoki and Chunian Bar associations boycotted the courts on Wednesday while the Pattoki bar members kept the Pattoki-Chunian Road blocked for half an hour to protest against the police failure to arrest the killers of lawyer Mohammad Asif.

At an emergency meeting, the Kasur Bar Association decided that lawyers would continue the strike if the police did not arrest the culprits immediately.

Meanwhile, the police have registered a case against five persons on the report of a brother of the deceased, Mohammad Nasar Iqbal, who told the police that the accused harboured a grudge against the deceased over ownership of a petrol pump. The DPO said the police were trying their utmost to arrest the killers.
