BAHAWALPUR, May 1: Cantonment police registered on Tuesday cases under anti-terrorism act against 14 under-trial prisoners for allegedly creating law and order situation on Monday.
The prisoners reportedly protested against police in the judicial lock-up after imposition of restrictions on them to meet their relatives. The restrictions on visitors’ meetings were imposed after the escape of an under-trial prisoner from police custody the other day.
