Illegal kidney transplant case: court grants bail to 2 accused

ISLAMABAD, Jun 09 (APP):The District & Sessions Court of Islamabad on Tuesday granted post-arrest bail to two key accused, including Dr. Nadir, despite strong opposition from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in the illegal kidney transplant case.

The court approved their release against surety bonds of Rs 100,000 each.

Civil Judge Ahmad Shahzad Gondal heard the bail applications of Dr. Nadir and another accused. After hearing arguments from both sides, the court approved the applications and ordered their release on bail.

During the proceedings, FIA officials opposed the requests and argued that further investigation was still required. The agency maintained that granting bail at this stage could affect the ongoing inquiry and hinder efforts to gather additional evidence.

The prosecution also told the court that releasing the accused during the investigation could influence the course of the case. It requested the court to reject the applications and allow investigators more time to complete the inquiry.

However, the court dismissed the FIA’s objections and ruled in favor of the accused. The decision came after detailed arguments from the defense counsel and FIA representatives during the hearing.

Meanwhile, other co-accused remain behind bars as their bail applications have already been rejected by the court.

According to the FIA, several aspects of the case are still under investigation, and further questioning of the main accused remains necessary. Despite these concerns, the court approved the post-arrest bail requests and directed that both accused be released after submitting surety bonds of Rs100,000 each.

The illegal kidney transplant case remains under investigation, while legal proceedings against all accused continue.
