Sandal Khattak sent to jail on judicial remand

Islamabad: A sessions court in the federal capital on Tuesday rejected the plea of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) seeking physical remand of TikToker Sandal Khattak in case related to the videos of Hareem Shah.

The court sent  Sandal Khattak to Adiala Jail on judicial remand.

The FIA officials arrested Sandal Khattak from the court premises the previous day after her bail plea was rejected in the said case.

During the court hearing, the FIA sought a five-day physical remand for Sandal Khattak. The investigating officer informed the court about the need to investigate co-accused Ayesha Naz and gather additional details, hence seeking Sandal's physical remand.

After thoroughly considering the arguments presented, the court decided to reject the FIA's request for physical remand.

TikToker Hareem Shah had earlier accused Sandal Khattak and Ayesha Naz, her former friends and roommates, of leaking her private videos. Hareem Shah claimed to possess evidence regarding the origin of the leaked videos and the accounts used for their dissemination.

Expressing satisfaction with Sandal Khattak's arrest, Hareem Shah stated that there would be no possibility of a settlement. Hareem also alleged that Sandal Khattak had a previous criminal record and had been arrested at a guest house in Islamabad. Hareem further asserted that Ayesha Naz had two cases filed against her.
