Summary Heirs of Talha, killed in a lion attack in Kahna, forgave both arrested suspects, prompting a Lahore court to grant bail.
LAHORE (Muhammad Ashfaq) - A significant development has emerged in the case concerning the death of a citizen, Talha, in a lion attack in Kahna, as the deceased’s legal heirs forgave the two arrested suspects in the name of Allah, following which a court granted them bail and ordered their release.
The case was heard at Model Town Courts, where Judicial Magistrate Qaiser Riaz presided. Police produced the arrested suspects, Fayyaz Ahmed and Nauman Hassan, before the court and sought a seven-day physical remand for investigation.
During the hearing, Talha’s legal heirs also appeared before the court and recorded their statements. They told the court that they had forgiven both suspects for the sake of Allah. They also submitted affidavits in support of their statements.
The prosecutor opposed the compromise, arguing that the suspects had committed a serious offence and should therefore be remanded to police custody.
The court rejected the police request for physical remand and granted bail to both suspects, Fayyaz Ahmed and Nauman Hassan, against surety bonds of Rs50,000 each.
The court subsequently ordered their release.
