ISLAMABAD: After her bail application was rejected by the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) Rawalpindi bench on Tuesday, supermodel Ayyan is all set to file a bail request in the Supreme Court.

Her counsel Sardar Ishaq Khan will challenge the LHC order on Thursday.

“Ayyan is a lady and the law is in favour of bails for women, even in murder cases,” he said, while talking to The Express Tribune. “After getting the full order, I will file an appeal in the apex court, seeking an immediate bail [for Ayyan].”
