Subsequently, the court issued arrest warrants against the tree accused. The defendants secured bail on April 9, and were ordered to surrender to the Women and Child Repression Prevention Tribunal to renew the bail after it expired on June 4.

Sagor’s bail application mentioned that his second wife Closeup One star Salma is pregnant, and that he was currently a law student at a private university.
