LAHORE: Lahore High Court Chief Justice Aalia Neelum on Wednesday denied post-arrest bail to a co-suspect in a case regarding fake videos of Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari uploaded on social media. During the hearing, provincial minister Azma Bokhari also appeared with her lawyer besides the director of the cybercrime wing and other officials of the FIA. The suspect’s lawyer argued that his client was not nominated in the FIR and had not received the FIA’s summons. He stated that two of the sections of the law mentioned in the FIR were bailable, while the third did not apply to the suspect. He asked the court to allow the bail petition of the suspect. The provincial minister’s lawyer opposed the bail plea, saying there was no personal enmity with the suspect, but the FIA declared him guilty during the inquiry. Deputy Attorney General Rafaqat Dogar presented the record of the case on behalf of the FIA and also opposed the bail petition. The law officer said all documentary evidence was available, which proved the involvement of the suspect in the case. After hearing the arguments from both sides, the chief justice dismissed the bail petition of the co-suspect in the case.
