The magistrate had said that prima facie, sufficient material was on record to connect Dr Ahmed with the offence. Thus he was not entitled to bail at that stage.

LAHORE: An additional district and sessions judge on Monday dismissed the after-arrest bail petition of a doctor accused of preaching Ahmedi beliefs and distributing books containing derogatory remarks against some prophets.

Dr Masood Ahmed said he had been implicated in a false case for ulterior motives. Advocate Ghulam Mustafa Chaudhry, counsel for the complainant, said Dr Ahmed had been nominated in an FIR with a specific role and the complainant had audio and video evidence to back his allegations.

Chaudhry said Dr Ahmed had preached Ahmedi beliefs to a patient and given him books containing blasphemous material.

Earlier, a magisterial court had previously dismissed Dr Ahmed’s post-arrest bail application.

The magistrate had said that prima facie, sufficient material was on record to connect Dr Ahmed with the offence.

Thus he was not entitled to bail at that stage.

The FIR registered under Section 298/C at the Old Anarkali police station on behalf of Maulana Muhammad Ehsan states that when he and some friends visited Dr Ahmed’s clinic a few days back the doctor preached Ahmedi beliefs and gave them some books containing derogatory remarks against some prophets.
