Sialkot lynching case: LHC grants bail to two accused
The counsel submitted that his clients were not nominated in the FIR and even the police had not known correct names of his clients. He submitted that the police implicated the petitioners with ulterior motives, but had failed to establish the allegations against them.
After hearing the arguments in Tuesday’s hearing, the bench headed by LHC’s chief justice allowed bail petitions and issued release orders for the two accused. They were, however, required to furnish surety bonds.

@Bushra: Yeah right blame it all on the media.. media must have made the fake footage too, yeah? Now that's funny!!
On the statements given by Shams Ali (who has been now given bail), many other innocent people were also affected, he was surely paid to take their names without any truth ! Failed media !!! I guess, media made a lot of money with all this fake names too to satisfy their clientele! What now? They have been proved innocent.
All the apprehended assailants were shown on the footage run by the media when the police held a press conference right after they were arrested. How come these lawyers have so many tricks up their sleeves to turn things into their favor. This is absolutely disgusting. It has been one whole year, one whole year and nothing has been done so far except for more and more bails!! Failed government, failed judiciary, failed state!!
