YouTuber Yasir Shami surrendered himself before the court on Thursday in a case related to sharing videos of the late Dr. Aamir Liaquat Hussain.
The case, which has gained significant attention, saw Shami’s appearance before the Karachi City Courts, presided over by the Judicial Magistrate East.
Yasir Shami was granted bail upon the submission of a surety bond worth Rs2.5 million, notwithstanding the seriousness of the accusations made against him. When the court decided to grant bail, it also ordered Shami to appear before the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and give a statement on the case.
This happens as a result of several summons that the court issued in response to Shami's persistent absence from hearings. Lawyer Sarkar has emphasized that Shami's continuous non-appearance has led to the issuing of an arrest warrant, highlighting the importance of Shami's presence in advancing the case.
Several people have been involved in the legal drama surrounding the viral footage of Dr. Aamir Liaquat Hussain, including Daniya Shah, the accused, who has been freed on bond.
With arguments to be made on the confirmation of Yasir Shami's bail, the upcoming hearing on May 23 looks to be quite important. In addition, a new charge sheet is expected to be submitted at the next hearing, and the legal situation is expected to change due to the surrender of another accused in the case.
