Komal was not mentioned in the FIR, and her legal representation was handled by Advocate Sardar Masroof. Masroof highlighted that two other women linked to the case had already been granted bail and argued that Komal’s name was not included in the FIR.

In a related development, the District and Sessions Courts in Islamabad granted the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) a two-day physical remand for Raoof Hasan and other suspects. Judge Abbas approved a two-day remand for Hasan despite the FIA’s request for eight days.

Arooba Komal was placed under judicial remand. The FIA prosecutor stressed the importance of addressing freedom of expression concerns, while Hasan admitted to his connections with those arrested but denied responsibility for social media activities. The prosecutor argued that the remand was essential for gathering information about Hasan’s connections.
