The case relates to Khadija Siddiqui, a law student, who was allegedly attacked by her class fellow, Shah Husain, on May 3, 2016, near Shimla Hill, Lahore where she along with her driver had gone to pick her younger sister from school.
Both sisters were about to get into their car when the helmet-wearing suspect Hussain attacked Khadija with a knife and stabbed her 23 times leaving her critically injured.
She was saved by her driver, who had tried to overpower the attacker, forcing him to flee from the scene.
Civil Lines police had registered a case against Shah Husain who is the son of lawyer Tanvir Hashmi.
