LAHORE: A sessions court in Lahore has granted post-arrest bail to Sajid Ali who was arrested in a case involving allegations of assault and abduction of two foreign women.

Additional Sessions Judge Riffaqat Ali Gondal approved the bail application and directed that the suspect be released against surety bonds worth Rs100,000.

According to the court’s written order, Sajid Ali was not nominated in the first information report (FIR). The primary allegation against him concerns the alleged removal of evidence from the crime scene.

The court observed that the suspect was already in judicial custody and that further police custody was not required for additional investigation.

After reviewing the bail plea the judge accepted the application and ordered Sajid Ali’s release upon submission of the required surety bonds.

The case concerns allegations involving two foreign women in Lahore’s Defence area. The allegations remain subject to investigation and legal proceedings.
