LAHORE (Dunya News) – Model girl Ayyan Ali on Tuesday has moved Lahore High Court (LHC) against arrest warrant in currency smuggling case. The model has filed a petition in the court, stating that she wants to attend the hearings being conducted by customs court. She further requested to dismiss warrants against her.

Earlier, a special customs court in Rawalpindi on Saturday while issuing interim warrant of model Ayyan Ali declared her ‘proclaimed offender’ in currency smuggling case.

Judge Arshad Hussain Bhatta ordered to confiscate her assets and produce witnesses before the court on March 16 to record statements. “The accused has been provided a two month respite but she did not bother to appear before the court. It should be told whether the notice has been pasted at Ayyan’s residence or not. Bailable and non-bailable arrest warrants against her were also issued. She failed to appear despite incessant summons. The address given by her is of a private society in Karachi,” remarked the judge. Ayyan Ali was arrested by the Airport Security Force in March 14,2015 at Benazir International Airport along with $506,800 she was allegedly trying to smuggle to United Arab Emirates (UAE).
