LAHORE: A sessions court on Thursday summoned the record from police in a post-arrest bail petition of Amir Sohail alias Rambo, a key suspect in the assault of TikToker Ayesha Akram at Minar-i-Pakistan.

A counsel on behalf of the petitioner/suspect argued that the complainant woman had been blackmailing his client. He said the police had implicated the petitioner in the case without probing the facts and that the petitioner was the main rescuer of the complainant at the time of the assault.

The court issued a notice to the police and summoned the record of the case on Dec 11.

Lorry Adda police had registered the first information report (FIR) against 400 unidentified persons for assaulting the complainant, molesting her and stripping her.

Police later also arrested Ayesha’s team associate Rambo after she accused him of blackmail.
