After hearing the arguments, the court rejected Ali Akbar Gul's interim bail plea and confirmed interim bail for his father.

Soon after the order was announced, Ali Akbar Gul allegedly attempted to flee from the court premises. The move triggered a scuffle outside the courtroom between the suspect and members of the complainant's party.
