Amina Mariam Bokhary, the niece of Court of Final Appeal judge Kemal Bokhary, was released on police bail after her arrest on January 31. She was pulled over on King Kwong Street in Happy Valley after a police patrol team saw her car cruising in an erratic manner.

Bokhary was ordered to report to the police on February 15, but a source said she never showed up.

“We have already put her on the wanted list,” the police insider said.

“Once she is picked up, we will immediately take her to the police station, charge her with the offence she originally committed and take her to court.”
