KARACHI: The Sindh High Court accepted on Tuesday the post-arrest bail plea of Dania Shah, the widow of renowned televangelist Aamir Liaquat \u2014 in a case registered against her for allegedly releasing controversial videos of her husband.
\nSome videos of Hussain had gone viral weeks before his death last year, giving rise to controversy regarding his sudden death under mysterious circumstances.
\nLater, a case had been filed against Shah on the complaint of the deceased TV host’s daughter \u2014 Dua Aamir \u2014 under allegations of links with the leak of the controversial videos.
\nDania had been arrested by FIA’s Cyber Crime Wing Lodhran during a raid in December 2022, and indicted for the charges against her during a hearing at the court of the East judicial magistrate on January 6.
\nToday’s hearing
\nDuring the hearing of Dania’s bail plea in the SHC, her lawyer Advocate Liaquat Gabol maintained that there was no evidence against her and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had led a faulty probe.
\nAfter completion of arguments by Dania’s lawyer, the court accepted her post-arrest bail and directed her to submit Rs200,000 in surety bonds against her release.
\nBefore the approval of her bail, Dania was on judicial remand. She had approached the SHC after the rejection of her bail from a sessions court.
\nAmir Liaquat Hussain’s death
\nAmir Liaquat Hussain \u2014 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) dissident and a member of the National Assembly (MNA), had been found dead at his home in Khudad Colony in Karachi last year on June 9.
