Schoolgirl torture case: court grants pre-arrest bail to suspects

LAHORE (Web Desk) – A sessions court on Saturday granted pre-arrest bail to the three schoolgirls involved in torturing their class fellow at a private school in Lahore. 

Additional District and Sessions Judge Chaudhry Zafar Iqbal heard the bail plea filed by the three suspects. Advocate Mian Rab Nawaz appeared on behalf of the three girls and told the court that the victim was a drug addict and wanted to involve others in the illegal act. The lawyer argued that his clients were being falsely implicated and they were ready to cooperate with the authorities in the investigation. 

The video footage of the attack was uploaded on the social media, in which the three girls could been seen violently beating the victim. 

According to the FIR, complainant Imran (girl’s father) said her daughter was beaten by her class fellows Jannat, Umaima and Noor Rehman. He said, “the main suspect had offered my daughter a dose of a drug to inhale in the school, which she refused to do, and as a result, she was badly tortured”. The FIR said Umaima, a boxer, beat her violently and she even knifed her multiple times.
