The applicant’s lawyer stated before the court that his client has nothing to do with the incident as he worked with prime suspect Aamir Sohail aka Rambo as a cameraman.

Neither did Hussain harass the female TikToker nor did he blackmail her, the counsel said. However, the prosecution opposed the suspect’s bail plea and said he was involved in blackmailing the woman.
