| Lawyers help rape suspect flee court |
| 2014-06-29 |
| [DAWN] A rape suspect escaped police custody with the help of his legal counsel after a Lahore High Court single bench dismissed his bail petition on Friday. The suspect (S) moved the bail petition through Advocate Rab Nawaz and denied the charges of rape. He alleged that the police had dragged him into the case at the behest of the complainant party. The Chiniot police investigating officer, however, said sufficient evidence had been collected against the suspect and medical report also established that the suspect had raped a mentally-challenged girl. He opposed the bail petition. Justice Shahid Hameed Dar dismissed the petition. However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... police failed to arrest the suspect as the counsel along with lawyers helped him flee the court. |
