Court rejects Dania Shahs bail plea in obscene video case
LAHORE (Web Desk) – Bail plea of televangelist Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain’s widow Dania Shah has been dismissed by a local court of Karachi in a case relating to the release of an “obscene” video of Liaquat.
Judicial Magistrate Mukesh Kumar on Friday announced the verdict reserved earlier. During Thursday s hearing, the court reserved its verdict after hearing arguments from both parties.
Ms Shah, the third wife of the late Aamir Liaquat, was arrested by the FIA from her home in Punjab’s Lodhran district and the case was filed against her by Liaquat’s daugther, Dua Aamir.
According to the FIA, the complaint was verified and an inquiry was initiated for further investigation. During the inquiry it came on record that Shah recorded “obscene” videos of Liaquat “with the intention to humiliate him” and during several YouTube interviews, she displayed the same video. The case was registered under sections 20, 21 and 24 of the PECA, 2016 on Oct 10, 2022. The interim charge sheet was submitted before a court on Nov 1.
Shah was arrested by an FIA team from Karachi’s Cyber Crime Wing. She was presented in court in Karachi to obtain her remand.
Shah was Liaquat’s third wife and in May, less than a month before his death, she announced their separation. In several interviews after the announcement, she accused him of abuse and mistreatment.
