Web Desk (LTN NEWS): Ana Ali, daughter of Sheikh Danish who tortured Khadija in the Faisalabad incident seeks protective bail from the Islamabad High Court.
Ana is accused of torturing her friend for refusing to marry her father.
In the video that is surrounding on Twitter, Ana Ali can be seen saying “I’m not present at the time of the incident.”
On Friday, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) told Ana Ali, the daughter of Sheikh Danish who is accused of torturing a girl in Faisalabad, to show proof by Monday that she lives in the federal capital. A single bench of the IHC made up of Acting Chief Justice of the IHC Justice Aamer Farooq, heard Ana Sheikh’s petition for protective bail in the FIR that Faisalabad Police filed after a female medical student was tortured.

She told the high court that she is too young to sign the petition and is afraid that the police will arrest her to look into the case. The petitioner also said that she was put forward as a witness even though she wasn’t there when the incident happened.
She said that the police arrested her because of outside pressure. Sheikh told the court that she wanted to show up in court, so she was given protective bail so she wouldn’t be arrested. During the hearing, the court told the petitioner’s lawyer that he did something wrong by bringing the accused to IHC since the FIR had been filed in Faisalabad.
The judge told the lawyer to show proof that the girl lives in Islamabad with her mother and her mother’s mother. The IHC bench noticed that the petitioner’s CNIC listed Faisalabad as both her temporary and permanent address and that she had only written “Islamabad” by hand on the application. The lawyer said that the girl lived in Islamabad with her mother. When this happened, the judge asked why the wrong address was written on the CNIC.

When asked, Ana Ali, one of the petitioners, said that she had been living in Islamabad since August 9.
Justice Aamer told her that she needed to show that she lived in the Federal capital. He asked why an FIR had been filed against her if she had nothing to do with what was going on. Her lawyer said that the police made a case against his client even though she wasn’t in Faisalabad. He said that his client went to school in Faisalabad but lived in the capital because her mother was no longer living with her father.
The court then told the petitioner that she had to prove that both her mother and paternal grandmother lived in Islamabad. The hearing was put off until Monday so that more could be done.
