[DAWN] KASUR: Lawyers manhandled jail officials, including an assistant superintendent, outside a local court on Saturday, besides thrashing some media persons and snatching their cameras while they were reporting the incident.To condemn highhandedness of lawyers, local journalists staged a protest demonstration and demanded protection during their work and action against those resorting to violence.
Sources say Advocate Farooq Azam, a member of district bar association, went to the district jail a few days back to get signed some documents by an under-trial prisoner. The lawyer had an argument with ASJ Muzaffar Husain during the process. He later filed a writ petition against four jail officials, including Mr Husain.
