LAHORE: Folk singer Akram Rahi was arrested on the Lahore High Court premises on Tuesday after cancellation of his pre-arrest bail in a fraud case.
Police arrested the singer as he came out of a courtroom, and took him to the Mozang Police Station.
Justice Tariq Javed dismissed Rahi’s bail application, which a district and sessions judge had also rejected earlier.
According to details, police had booked Rahi under sections 420, 468 of PPC on the complaint of one Akram Bodla, who had alleged that the singer and his four accomplices, including Akram Sabir and Ramzan Qadri, were fraudulently trying to transfer the possession of his three-kanal house in Model Town with the help of fake documents.
The complainant had said that Rahi tried to get a court decree against him by keeping the suit completely out of his knowledge. He said he joined the case after he came to know about it, and later it was dismissed.
On the other hand, Rahi pleaded that he was being implicated in a false case, and thus deserved bail.
The complainant’s counsel, Muhammad Shah, while opposing the application, said that the singer defrauded his client and did not deserve to be released on bail. He also contended that his accomplices were still at large. (DT)
