The Lahore High Court here on Friday cancelled the bail of PML-N Youth Wing office bearer Adnan Sanaullah and directed the trial court to initiate proceedings to declare the suspect a court's absconder. The prosecution department had approached the court against bail granted to the suspect by a session court following 'reconciliation' with the victim's family.
Additional Prosecutor General Punjab Abdul Samad stated before the court that since the police had already confirmed that the suspect had fled the country, the concession of the bail should be withdrawn.
The prosecution in its appeal contended that the affidavit filed by the girl was a result of pressure exerted on her family by the accused party.
The appeal stated that the victim-girl in her first statement recorded before a judicial magistrate had maintained that Sanaullah was the prime suspect of the gang rape. It asked the court to declare the affidavit of the girl void and cancel bail granted to the suspect.
Race Course police had arrested Sanaullah and his accomplices: Abdul Majid, Muhammad Umar, Ameer Ahmad, Haris, Bilawal, Imran Shahid and Qamar Zaman on charges of abducting a teenage girl and subjecting her to criminal assault.
