In another tweet, Nasir questioned, “No protective bail was granted to accused Shabbir brother of Zaheer in #DuaZahra case to best of our knowledge. He wasn’t arrested on his way to Court. Interim bail given till 26Jul subject to submission of surety, but no surety submitted today. Still no arrest?”

Analysts also raised questions over the meeting of a YouTuber Zunaira Maham along with an alleged lawyer Ali Jaffery with Dua Zehra at the Dar-ul-Aman. They expressed suspicions that the influential gang was behind the development of brainwashing the girl before her appearance in the Karachi courts.
They also said that the Sindh medical examination report of Zehra is likely to be challenged and the alleged abductors will try to demand a new medical examination of the girl in Punjab.
