LAHORE (Dunya News) - Police have arrested three lawyers for allegedly subjecting a traffic warden to severe torture on a road, inviting public outcry, who say no one is above the law and question why the lawyers did not stop their car on the order of the law-enforcer.

The lawyers’ car did not bear legally approved number plate. A traffic warden on duty tried to stop the car for this violation. But, the car riders sped away, ignoring the warden’s signal for stopping the car.
The traffic officer chased them, and managed to make them halt their car. The furious car riders started beating the warden for chasing their car.
