Accountability court scuffle: Lawyers booked for thrashing policemen
Pakistan News October 14, 2017, by Raheel Ayub 0 Comment 3ISLAMABAD: Police registered a case on Saturday against the lawyers who allegedly confronted and manhandled police officials at the entrance of the Islamabad accountability court a day earlier.
The confrontation between the lawyers and the law-enforcers had deferred the scheduled indictment of Maryam Nawaz and Captain (retd) Safdar until October 19.
Lawyers claim that they were barred from entering the court premises by the police despite the court allowing them to do so.
