Sialkot lynching: LHC grants bail to 4 police constables

The Lahore High Court on Thursday granted bail to four police constables in a case concerning the lynching of two brothers in Sialkot last year.

A two-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Ijaz Chaudhry, approved the bail of Mubarik Ali, Naseer Ahmed, Muhammad Akbar and Muhammad Aslam. They were ordered to submit a surety of Rs 100,000 each.

Lahore High Court Bar Association President, Asghar Ali Gil, represented the constables in the court.

Earlier, the DPO of Sialkot had been granted bail in the case.

Seven months have passed since the tragic lynching of two brothers Hafiz Mughees and Muneeb in Sialkot and despite being assured of justice by top officials, including the president himself, the family continues to await justice.
