Lahore:A local court on Wednesday granted bail to YouTuber Dr Umar Adil in a case of making defamatory remarks against female anchors.
The court directed the Youtuber to furnish surety bonds of Rs 50,000 to avail the relief, adding that if the surety bonds were not furnished then the accused should be sent to jail on judicial remand.
The court also sought challan (charge-sheet) from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on the next date of hearing.
Judicial Magistrate Qurban Ali conducted the proceedings on an application filed by the FIA.
A day ago, FIA’s Cyber Crime Wing arrested Dr Umar Adil on a complaint lodged by the female anchor Ghareeda Farooqi against him.
