Author: Web Desk

LAHORE: Enraged lawyers went on a rampage at the premises of Lahore High Court (LHC) building after they rejected the order of the court’s bench for Multan High Court Bar president Sher Zaman’s  arrest on Monday.

The violent protesters reportedly broke down the main entrance gate of the LHC and also gathered on the Mall road forming a protest demonstration.

They also had to be kept back from entering the Chief Justice Block by using water cannons.

Lawyers reportedly manhandled the policemen present in the premises during the protest.

Earlier non-bailable arrest orders for Sher Zaman Qureshi were issued by the court.
