 According to a police official, the sessions court judge Nadeem Ahmed Khan granted pre-arrest bail court against a surety bond of Rs. 30,000 after the retired Major had submitted an application for interim bail. The judge, however, said the bail has to be reconfirmed at the next hearing on August 20. Senior police officials had expressed apprehension that the suspect would try to obtain pre-arrest bail.
