RAHIM YAR KHAN: The police registered a case against two sisters for shooting a TikTok video on the court premises of a senior civil judge on Friday.

On Saturday, Additional District and Sessions Judge Mubashar Nadeem granted them interim bail till May 29.

Hira Kanwal with her sister Hina Kanwal came to the court of Senior Civil Judge Abdul Sattar Bosal to get Hina’s marriage agreement cancelled. As the judge was not present in the court, both sisters started making the video.

The reader of the judge stopped them from doing so, but both sisters kept on doing the footage and later uploaded it on the social media.

After the footage went viral, the judge took notice of the incident for breaching the integrity of the court.

The police registered a case against Hira and Hina on the application of court reader Muhammad Ishtiaq under sections 186 and 292 of the Pakistan Penal Code. On Saturday, both social media artists filed an application for interim bail in the court.
