LAHORE: On Monday, a court against terrorism granted post-arrest release to three individuals who are suspected of harassing a woman in Ichhra bazaar for donning a shirt featuring Arabic script print.
The accused, Muhammad Nadeem, Adil Sarwar, and Altimash Saqlain, were taken into custody by the police.
The accused were denied further custody to the police and were placed in jail on judicial remand last week by the court.

The accused’ bail petitions were granted by Judge Arshad Javed, provided that each surety bond submitted was for Rs 100,000.
In addition, the judge dismissed the pre-arrest bail requests of Maulana Aleemuddin Shakir and Khalid Shehansha, noting that they had been withdrawn in view of the police’s discharge report.
