LAHORE:
A man accused of murder escaped from police custody on Tuesday after a Lahore High Court judge dismissed his bail application.
When Justice Rauf Ahmad Sheikh announced his order on the bail petition, murder accused Atif, a resident of Faisalabad, dashed to the door of the court, making his way outside the courtroom.
Police personnel chased him and got hold of him outside the courtroom but the accused managed to extricate himself. He escaped as the police did not follow him.
Some police personnel and security officials were also present on scene but they did not join in pursuing the accused.
