LAHORE: A district and sessions court in Lahore on Saturday extended until September 14 the interim bail of four suspects in a case pertaining to an assault on a TikTok user in Great Iqbal Park.
Khizar Hayat, Muhammad Umar, Muhammad Asif and Akhtar Ali had requested the court to do the same.
The defense told the court that the suspects were willing to cooperate with the police in the investigation but feared their arrest.
Last month, police opened cases against hundreds of unidentified men after Ayesha Akram was assaulted and purportedly groped by a crowd of more than 400 men in the park as she made a TikTok video.
The shocking assault was captured on several videos, which went viral and showed a mob descend on the woman.
Akram registered a case against 300 to 400 unidentified persons with Lahore police, according to the case report.
