DPP Wan Mohd Bukhari Wan Mohd offered bail of RM6,000 with one surety for each offender.

Lawyer Mohd Haijan Omar, who represented the pair, asked for a lower bail to be imposed, saying his clients were still studying.

Magistrate Nazri Omran allowed bail of RM2,000 each with one surety and fixed Feb 8 for next mention date.

Zarina has acted in television dramas such as Anak Pontianak, as well as films such as Ular and Khon Malay.
