Five lawyers beat an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) outside the Sessions Court for allegedly conducting an inquiry against their client.

Barrister Rana Asif Raza, Rana Saeed Anwar, Sajjad Afzal, Malik Muhammad Hanif and Mehar Jahangir thrashed ASI Faqir Muhammad of the Nishtar Colony Police Station.

Islampura Police Station House Officer (SHO) Maqsood Ali told Daily Times that the lawyers attacked the ASI as he stepped outside the court after submitting the records of a case. The ASI nominated the lawyers in his application submitted before the Islampura Police for the registration of a first information report (FIR) against the accused lawyers.
