In a recent development reported by Tribune Home on February 10, 2026, a Karachi court has extended the interim bail of YouTuber Rajab Butt until March 30. The extension came after an Additional District and Sessions Judge approved a request to adjourn the hearing due to the absence of Butt's main defence counsel, Mian Ali Ashfaq, who was on official leave. The complainant's lawyer expressed dissatisfaction, noting that Butt arrived an hour late for the scheduled 8:30 am court session and requested the cancellation of his bail. The case, which involves allegations of insulting Islamic symbols, has been contentious, with a previous incident where Butt was assaulted by a group of lawyers at Karachi's City Court. The Tribune Home article highlights the ongoing legal challenges faced by Butt, including the procedural delays and the tensions surrounding his court appearances.
