AGC stands by bullying charges in Zara Qairina case, rebuffs lawyer’s call for harsher law

AI Summary

The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) will charge suspects in the Zara Qairina bullying case under Section 507C(1) of the Penal Code, which specifically addresses bullying, rather than Section 507D(2) as suggested by the victim's family's lawyer.
