ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday granted interim bail to TikToker Nausheen Saeed alias Dolly in forest fire case.

Dolly fled from the district courts following rejection of his bail plea earlier last week.

She filed a petition before the IHC seeking the bail. IHC Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri took up the petition.

After preliminary hearing the court granted pre-arrest interim bail to TikToker till June 8 and adjourned the hearing till that date.

TikToker Dolly applied the pre arrest bail after registration of an FIR against her for setting the forest ablaze for making a video. The FIR was registered by Kohsar Police under various sections of Environment Protection Agency and Islamabad Wildlife Ordinance.

Islamabad Police had registered two separate FIRs after two videos went viral on social media; one showing two young TikTokers setting the forest on fire with a lighter on Margalla Hills. Another video that went viral on social media showed a model and TikToker Dolly performing in front of a fire.
