LAHORE: A local court on Friday ordered the release of teachers arrested by police in a crackdown outside the Punjab Civil Secretariat.
Earlier, Islampura police produced the arrested teachers before Judicial Magistrate Imran Abid in district courts.
The police requested the court to grant a 10-day physical remand of teachers for investigation.
However, the court turned down the request and discharged the teachers from the case while ordering their release.
A day earlier, the police had launched a crackdown and arrested dozens of government employees, including teachers, who had been staging a sit-in outside the Punjab Civil Secretariat.
