The police are still in the process of dispersing the lawyers and are using water cannons to do so. Reports suggest that tear gas was also used to disperse the crowd. Some doctors claim that there were not only the lawyers attacking PIC but a bunch of unknown criminals was also seen in black coats. They said that the lawyers could never beat female doctors and could never create a situation where patients had to face threat to their lives
The lawyers did not only beat the male doctors but also female doctors. They were found beating women in the presence of police that seemed helpless. A fair breach of hospital security was seen at the hospital today.
A huge number of tweets and statements have been issued by the responsible authorities against the incident, however, it is still to be found out if they are going to take any action against the lawyers.

In the latest update, additional IG Inam Ghani stated that the police have now vacated the hospital and have arrested the culprits. The IG did not disclose the number of arrests but has clearly stated that the culprits will be punished according to the law.
