three men for beating up two polio
...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world.

vaccinators in Lahore, officials said Friday, the latest case of violence against health workers seeking to immunise children against the crippling disease.

A scuffle broke out when two polio vaccinators visited the family's home for a second time Thursday to double check that they hadn't missed any children out of the polio immunisation campaign. The health workers and the men of the house got into a fight after the family said there were no children at home, a local police official said.

Police officer Mohammad Kamran said that police arrested three men on the complaint of the polio vaccinators after about 60 health workers held a protest outside the cop shoppe.

The three men ‐ from the low-income Siddique Colony neighbourhood of Lahore ‐ were arrested but later released on bail.

"Since beating someone is a bailable offence, the trio was released on bail later," Kamran told AFP.

Mohammad Usman, the supervisor of the vaccination team, told AFP that the men became irritated because the health workers knocked on their door twice in the same day when there weren't any children in the house.

The vaccinators always visit homes a second time to be sure they haven't missed children who need to be immunised, Usam added.

Gunmen on Wednesday killed four members of a polio vaccination team in the outskirts of Quetta, the capital of southwestern Balochistan
