A sessions court has granted bail to an arrested suspect in a case of abduction of two foreign national women and rape, after his counsel argued that he had not been accused of abducting or sexually assaulting the victims.
Additional Sessions Judge Riffaqat Ali Gondal approved the suspect Sajid's bail application after hearing arguments of his counsel Salman Shahid.
During the hearing, the defence counsel maintained that there was no allegation of abduction or rape against Sajid and his alleged role was limited to attempting to destroy evidence from a house.
The lawyer argued that the applicant was a poor security guard and did not deserve to remain behind bars in the case.
He requested the court to grant bail to the suspect.
After hearing the arguments, the court accepted the bail petition and granted relief to the suspect.
Eight other suspects have been arrested in connection with the case.
