In a significant turn of events, YouTuber Yasir Shami, accused of disseminating viral videos featuring the late Dr. Aamir Liaquat Hussain, surrendered himself before the Karachi City Courts on Thursday.
The case, which has captured widespread attention, finally saw some resolution as Shami made his appearance before the Judicial Magistrate East at the Karachi City Courts.
Despite the serious allegations against him, Yasir Shami was granted bail upon the submission of a Rs2.5 million surety bond. However, the court’s decision to grant bail was accompanied by a directive for Shami to present himself before the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and provide a statement regarding the case.
This development comes after a series of summons issued by the court due to Shami’s repeated absence from proceedings. Legal representatives have emphasized the importance of Shami’s presence in advancing the case, with lawyer Sarkar highlighting the possibility of an arrest warrant being issued due to his persistent non-appearance.
The legal saga surrounding the viral videos of Dr. Aamir Liaquat Hussain has involved multiple individuals, including accused Daniya Shah, who has been out on bail.
Liaqat Gabol, representing Shah, has underscored Shami’s crucial role in the case’s progression, attributing delays to his actions.
Looking ahead, the next hearing scheduled for May 23 is expected to be crucial, as arguments will be presented regarding the confirmation of Yasir Shami’s bail. Furthermore, with the surrender of another accused in the case, the legal landscape is set to evolve, with an amended charge sheet anticipated to be filed at the upcoming hearing.
