Supermodel Ayyan’s bail plea has been rejected by Lahore High Court on Tuesday. Justice Mehmood Maqbool Bajwa rejected the bail request after hearing the arguments of both sides.
According to local media reports, Customs Prosecutor stated that in a bid to illegally taking the currency amounts to Rs 50 million overseas, a fine of Rs 500 million can also be imposed. As per the FIA report, arrested model Ayyan Ali underwent 40 foreign visits during the past 3 years. Customs prosecutor Naeem Lodhi also said Ayyan was unable to provide reasonable answers on why she was carrying the money in her luggage.
Ayyan’s lawyer Sardar Ishaq, talking to media men after the hearing, stated that the investigation against his client has been completed but she hasn’t been provided with the bail. He also urged that people convicted for murder and other notorious crimes have been provided bail but his client who has been detained for smuggling is not been provided the bail yet.
Ayyan Ali was arrested by customs officials on March 14 from Benazir Bhutto International Airport Islamabad after $508,000 were recovered from her possession.
