Web Desk (LTN NEWS): Faisalabad Additional District and Sessions Judge Haider Ali Arif set August 20 as the date to hear a female suspect’s bail request after she was arrested. An FIR was filed against her, her husband, her daughter, and 12 others on Tuesday by the Faisalabad women’s police station. They are accused of kidnapping, torturing, and sexually assaulting a BDS student because she refused to marry the main suspect.
In her request for bail, the suspect said that the FIR said she was a maid, but she is actually the main suspect’s wife. She is being held by the court.
Also, the FIA has put the main suspect’s daughter on the provisional national identification list for the 30-day stop list of people who are on the run.
The police told the FIA that the daughter was wanted in the FIR filed by the Faisalabad women’s police station, so she could be put on the PNIL so she couldn’t leave the country.
On Thursday, when the main suspect was brought before a judge, some rowdy lawyers beat him and chanted against him. He was saved by a group of police who were stationed outside the courthouse. A lawyer hit himself in the face over and over with shoes.
Ali Raza, a judicial magistrate, gave the police five days to keep the suspect in custody.

After the hearing, the police dragged the suspect to the police van so that the lawyers wouldn’t hurt him. When he was in the police van, dozens of lawyers tried to beat him up.
Also, the FIA cybercrimeSA branch in Faisalabad filed a case against the main suspect, his wife, and his daughter for making videos of torture and putting them on social media, where they went viral.
On the video, the suspect can be seen beating her, cutting off her hair and eyebrow, and making her lick his shoes.
On the girl’s request, the FIR was filed under section 109 of the Pakistan Penal Code and sections 3, 4, 16, 20, 21, and 24 of the 2016 Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act.
A medico-legal report from the DHQ doctors said that the girl had been tortured, and swabs from her were sent to the Punjab Forensic Science Agency to look into whether she had been sexually abused.
