The case involves alleged disruption of an international cricket team's security route and incitement to public unrest. The couple was arrested on January 23 in connection with protesting outside the Islamabad High Court and allegedly manhandling the IHC Bar Association president. During the court hearing, the judge expressed frustration over the police's long delays in presenting the case records, which could result in the police officials facing imprisonment. The attorney for the accused argued that a similar arrangement usually occurs when the investigating officer is unavailable, and questioned the court's wait time for the records.

The case against the couple has been ongoing since their arrest, with previous sentences suspended by the Supreme Court, only to be re-arrested and returned to jail due to further legal complications.",
