A court in Lahore granted bail to video blogger Umar Adil on Wednesday in a case pertaining to allegedly using foul language against news anchor Gharida Farooqi.

The court rejected the FIA’s plea for physical remand for the accused and ordered the release of the accused on surety bonds of Rs50,000.

The FIA Cyber Crime Wing in Lahore arrested Adil on Tuesday following Gharida’s complaint.

In her complaint, she alleged that Adil had made her the target of criticism in his podcast and used an insulting tone. Gharida claimed that the language used by Adil has “damaged her reputation.”

The TV anchor also claimed that Adil’s viral video has tarnished her dignity. “The intrusion into private life has severely shocked the credibility.”
