Islamabad: A local court in Islamabad has approved the guarantee application after stating journalist Waheed Murad, who was arrested by the federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on charges of glorifying offenses and cyber terrorism earlier this week.
The court’s magistrate Abbas Shah ordered the release of the journalist on bail after the FIA presented him to court after the end of his two-day physical custody.
Originally, the Court had established bail bonds to RS50,000, but Murad’s plea for a reduction was accepted and the amount was lowered to RS20,000.
