| Girl granted bail in extortion case |
| 2015-02-28 |
| [DAWN] An anti-terrorism court on Friday granted bail to a teenaged girl arrested on charges of demanding extortion from local traders in the name of a militant outfit. "Looky here, judge! Either I get bail or GeoTV finds out about that bleached blond hussy you've got hidden away in Gilgit-Baltistan!" The girl stated to be 17 belongs to Mashokhel area of Peshawar, and was arrested a few days ago by the local police. Precocious little thing, ain't she? Only seventeen and already arrested! The ATC judge Abdur Rauf Khan pronounced a short order of accepting the bail petition of the girl after hearing arguments from the prosecution and the defence. "Let her go, bailiff! She's got pictures and everything!" The petitioner’s counsel contended that there was no evidence on record to prove that she belonged to a group of extortionists. He added that even if the prosecution’s version was accepted to be true the petitioner never meant to receive money from those who she called on phone. Then why'd she call? Just to keep in touch? |
