In his plea, Shehzad argued that the FIR is baseless and that he has been wrongly accused. His lawyer stated that Shehzad has been fully cooperating with authorities and assured that he will not tamper with any evidence if released on bail.

The bail plea further mentioned that keeping Shehzad in custody serves no real purpose other than acting as pre-trial punishment. It emphasized that since he has already cooperated with the investigation, there is no need for his continued detention.
