A local court in Karachi has rejected the bail applications of Salman Farooqi and Owais Hashmi, the two main suspects in the high-profile case involving the assault of a young man in the Defence area.
The case gained widespread attention after videos of the violent incident went viral on social media, sparking public outrage and calls for justice. The disturbing footage showed the victim being physically assaulted, prompting swift legal action and widespread media coverage.
In its ruling, the court stated that preliminary evidence and witness testimonies support the allegations against the accused. The presiding judge noted that granting bail at this stage could obstruct the course of justice and pose a risk of tampering with evidence.
Legal experts and members of the public have largely welcomed the courts decision, viewing it as a positive step toward upholding the rule of law. Many believe that the judgment sends a strong message against acts of violence and abuse of power, especially in cases involving influential individuals.
The accused are currently in judicial custody and remain behind bars as the investigation continues. Observers hope that this case will set a precedent for prompt and impartial action in future incidents of a similar nature.
