Two women accused of misbehaving with motorway police granted bail

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) Friday granted protective bail to two women who allegedly misbehaved with Motorway police personnel a few days ago. 

Lahore High Court's (LHC) Justice Tariq Naeem heard the case. 

The court granted proactive bail to the women after intense arguments, restraining police from arresting them for four days. 

The judge directed the two women to ensure their presence before the local court in Chakwal. 

Earlier, a video showing women hurling abuses at the Motorway police and accusing the officers of hitting one of them and making threats, went viral on social media.

The Motorway personnel and the women filmed each other during the quarrel. The women alleged that the police officers attempted to snatch their mobile phone.

One woman claimed the officer demanded a bribe, while the officer said that the women were filming without consent and impeding the flow of traffic. 

In their official response, the Motorway Police (North Zone) stated that they stopped the women for exceeding the speed limit and driving recklessly on the motorway near Kallar Kahar.
