Additional Sessions Judge Mansoor Ahmed Qureshi took up interim bail applications of Rajab Butt and Nadeem Naniwala. The lawyer representing NCCIA told the court that the investigating officer was tied up in High Court, requesting more time to submit the investigation record. The court accepted the request, keeping the bail applications pending, but declared both accused present and allowed them to leave the courtroom.
The shocking incident in Karachi City Court had already made headlines, where a large group of lawyers reportedly attacked Raja Butt, with one lawyer even posting a video message saying that Raja Butt had considered himself fearless, but that day he learned otherwise.
This dramatic sequence of events has ignited a storm on social media, with fans expressing outrage over the alleged assault and the escalating tension between legal authorities and social media celebrities.
