LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Aug, 2018 ) :The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday granted bail to former DPO Kasur Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi and police driver Amanat in Mudassar encounter case.

However, the court rejected the bail applications of DSP Arif Rasheed and SI Younas Dogar in the case.

Acting LHC Chief Muhammad Anwaarul Haq heard the bail applications of the accused.

During the hearing, the petitioner' s counsel argued that the accused were not involved in the Mudassar encounter but the joint investigation team declared them guilty despite the fact that they were not nominated in the FIR. He pleaded with the court to grant benefit of the bail to the accused.
