LAHORE: The 12th and the last prosecution witness against Gullu Butt told an anti-terrorism court on Tuesday the video showing the accused smashing private cars parked outside Minhajul Quran Secretariat was downloaded from internet.
The witness, Asif Shahzad, a cameraman of a private news channel, in his statement he gave to the ATC said he did not film the alleged offense committed by the suspect.
He said the video he gave to police was actually downloaded from the internet.
The court adjourned hearing till Oct 30 and asked the counsel to present final arguments.
Talking to the media outside the court, Butt said he had vandalised the cars in aggression. He said he had been receiving offers to work in films from many local directors.

What difference does it make where the footage has been downloaded from? He is clearly seen damaging the vehicles, irrespective of the footage origin.

Corruption on rampage, judiciary is not exception. It is why all the Gullu Butts of the influential VIP's of Pakistan are free. In Pakistan lawyers are working not for to clean society from criminals but for good money, Aitzaz Ahsan is not exception.

cameraman might have been threatened to say so, because Gulluism is promoted and sponsored by PML (N). witness is witness if it is genuine and its genuinity was witnessed live by the world on TV Channels.

IN Pakistan, Justice is really blind. It so blind that they cannot even see a person committing the crime and caught red handed on a camera.

What's wrong with our courts and judges. He can be seen smashing cars in authentic videos. Period. Why are the trying to find a loophole to acquit him on grounds of 'unsubstantiated' proof???? Everyone has seen it and knows he did it, but judges still have to make up their mind??????

Separate case should also be registered against the policemen who are bye-standers here, and the SHO and the police in-charge that saw the crime being committed and stood there doing nothing.
