LAHORE – A woman, who attacked and misbehaved with cops in DHA area of Punjab capital, has been granted an interim bail by a sessions court.
Additional Sessions Judge Sohail Anjum approved the bail of Kinza Rehman subject to submission of surety bonds worth Rs 50,000.
The court stopped police from arresting her until January 13 and summoned a report regarding the case, local media reported on Monday.
