Gulzar, a former police officer, was found guilty of killing Shafique, Irfan, and Sultan on May 20, 2002 within court premises as an act of vengeance for the death of his brother.

Security was beefed up in the jail during the time of execution.
The culprit's body was later handed over to the family for burial.

This was a pure criminal case for murder. There is no terrorism in this. Why anti-terrorism court is giving judgement?
