GIRL RECOVERED: A bailiff appointed by the district and sessions court recovered a girl from the basement of a house in Chak 90/9-L on Sunday.

Reports said Irum Yasmeen contracted love marriage with Kashif. But her family which opposed the marriage locked her.

The court ordered the Grain Market police to recover the girl, but they failed to do so owing to the influence of the family. On this, the district and sessions judge appointed a bailiff who recovered the girl and presented her before the court which allowed her to go with her husband.
