LAHORE, May 5: Two accused with the help of their counsels managed to flee from the premises of the Lahore High Court on Thursday after their bail petitions were rejected by Justice Manzoor Ahmad Malik.

The accused, Usman Butt and Adnan Butt, were involved in dacoity cases. When the court dismissed bails of both accused, the police personnel present outside the court tried to arrest them but their counsels offered resistance.

The lawyers encircled their clients (accused) and took them out of court premises.
