**LAHORE: Two members of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and a policeman were killed during a clash between PAT protesters and policemen in Lahore on Tuesday.
According to initial reports, one of the deceased PAT supporters was a 16-year-old. The two PAT members have not been identified.
Straight shots were reportedly fired when elite force personnel showed up to counter PAT supporters outside the Lahore residence of PAT chief Dr Tahirul Qadri.
Supporters of PAT were being rounded up by the police and being taken to a nearby station in Model Town.
Earlier, 55 people had been arrested. In fresh arrests, 12 more were detained. Supporters were reportedly hiding in the PAT secretariat.
As police baton-charged the protestors they in turn hurl rocks at them.
The elite forces had been firing straight shots on the protestors.
Injured were shifted to a nearby hospital.
Over 35 people were injured during violent clashes between members of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and police personnel outside the Lahore residence of PAT chief Dr Tahirul Qadri.
The injured included 11 policemen as well.
Fifteen people were also arrested and several cars parked in the vicinity suffered minor damages.
Police personnel from at least 12 police stations had been called to control the clash.
There were almost 1,000 police personnel on the site of the protest, according to latest reports. Due to the blockage of roads, commuters were also facing trouble.
PAT members and police are still locked in a clash outside Qadri's residence and panic had gripped the area.
Earlier, several area residents had overnight protested outside Qadri’s house in the presence of a large contingent of police personnel.
The residents have been demanding the immediate removal of the barrier outside Qadri’s house in Model Town.
PAT members were sprayed with tear gas and whipped by police personnel during the clash.
Qadri condemned police action on PAT members calling it cowardly. He added that the government could not stop his arrival nor could they stop the revolution that his party would be bringing in the country.
Meanwhile, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain condemned police action on PAT members and demanded instant clearance outside what he called Qadri’s besieged residence.
