At least four patients lost their lives after hundreds of lawyers on Wednesday ransacked Lahore’s Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC), Dawn reported.
After hours of continued violence, police arrested more than a dozen lawyers and unblocked Jail Road.
The lawyers were protesting against a video that went viral on social media Tuesday, in which a doctor was seen narrating an encounter with some lawyers in front of a group.
According to the doctor in the video, a group of lawyers had gone to the Punjab inspector general (IG) and told him to charge “two doctors” under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ACT). He was seen narrating that the IG had refused while the lawyers had urged him to press charges, saying “they could save face” that way.
