The Lahore High Court (LHC) has granted bail to former additional director Sarfraz Chaudhry and co-accused Shoaib Riaz and Salman Aziz in an alleged corruption case linked to Ducky Bhai’s wife.
Justice Abher Gul Khan delivered a detailed six-page verdict, ordering the release of the accused on bail of Rs 100,000 each.
According to the complainant, Sarfraz Chaudhry received a bribe of 500,000 rupees. However, the court observed that the available record does not establish that Chaudhry directly received any amount from the complainant.
Earlier, YouTuber Rajab Butt and TikToker Nadeem Naniwala had approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking permission to travel abroad.

According to court documents, the petitions were filed through lawyers Raja Qadeer Janjua and Ahad Khokhar. The petitioners claim that their inclusion on the travel ban list is unjustified and has harmed their professional activities.
