Abbas' wife Zara Abbas approached the top court, stating that the Sindh High Court had ignored important evidence and granted bail to Adil. Her lawyer contended that the accused was present at the crime scene when his brother, Atif Zaman, the prime accused in the case, shot and killed two persons, including her client's husband.
On July 9, 2019, Atif had gunned down TV anchorperson Mureed Abbas, 34 and Khizar Hayat, 45 over a monetary dispute in Defence Housing Authority (DHA) and then attempted suicide.
An anti-terrorism court had on Sept 30 dropped terrorism charges in the case and had sent the case back to a session court to conduct a trial of accused Atif Zaman on charges of killing his two business partners.
