At the outset of today\u2019s hearing, Hijab informed the court that she and the suspect had reached an out-of-court settlement, adding that she did not want to pursue the case anymore. The social media influencer said she would have no objection if the court granted bail or acquitted the suspect. The court then granted the suspect bail against surety bonds of Rs20,000 in each case. Earlier this month, the Islamabad-based social media influencer had alleged that Zahid \u2014 with whom she had been in a relationship \u2014 had been harassing her for months with threats and demands to marry him.

When I stepped outside, he snatched my mobile, sat in his car, and forced me in as well,\u201d Samiya had added.
