LAHORE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Apr, 2026) The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday dismissed the bail application of an accused allegedly involved in filming an indecent video of a female doctor and blackmailing her.

According to a spokesperson,Justice Waheed Khan heard the bail plea of accused Israr Majeed.

During the hearing,a deputy attorney general,representing the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), informed the court that the accused had been employed as a driver at a private hospital.
