KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday rejected the bail application of Dania Shah in a case of leaking objectionable video of her late husband Aamir Liaquat Hussain.
The verdict was reserved by the SHC on Wednesday after hearing arguments from both sides. The FIA cyber-crime circle Karachi arrested the former wife of Aamir Liaquat Hussain, Dania Shah, from Lodhran in the obscene video leak case in December 2022.
The FIA prosecutor accused Dania of making the videos and made them viral. He said, “during the investigation, two numbers have been identified, from which the videos went viral.” Dania Shah’s lawyer Liaqat Gabol stated in the court that the numbers mentioned in the challan from which the videos are uploaded are not registered under the name of the accused.
The lawyer further stated that the allegations made by the prosecutor are baseless, adding that Aamir Liaquat Hussain never launched any complaints to Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) regarding the objectionable video’s in his life. Advocate Liaqat Gabol accused Aamir Liaquat’s daughter Dua Aamir of pressurizing Dania Shah by being implicated in the case. He said, “Dania is being victimised for seeking inheritance in the deceased’s property.”
It is pertinent to mention here that the late televangelist Aamir Liaquat Hussain’s widow Dania Shah challenged her arrest in the SHC in an objectionable video case on Jan 19 last month. She stated in her petition that the FIA had illegally arrested her and it did not fulfill the legal requirements despite the submission of replies to the agency.
