Torture of traffic warden: Bail granted to Imran Khan's nephews

LAHORE: A court on Thursday accepted the bail of two nephews of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan who were arrested in Lahore on Wednesday after a traffic warden lodged a case accusing them of torturing him.

According to police, traffic warden Shakeel had stopped Khan's nephews Azam Khan and Abdullah Khan after they allegedly violated a traffic signal on Lahore's Mall Road.

The court on Thursday ordered them to submit surety bonds of Rs.50,000 each.

Police said the two youngsters declined to show the vehicle's registration papers and got into a scuffle with the warden, who claimed that they beat him up.

Police registered a case on the complaint of the warden, after which the accused were taken into custody.
