KARACHI, May 27: The district and sessions judge, South, Agha Rafique Ahmed, acquitted on Monday a worker of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement in a murder case.
Shafi Ahmed alias Shafi Dhobi was prosecuted for kidnapping and killing Constable Inamullah in Kalakot on July 6, 1999.
The judge acquitted the Muttahida worker of all charges as the prosecution could not prove its case against him.
INDICTED: An anti-terrorism court indicted two workers of the banned Lashkar-i-Jhangavi in a bomb blast case. Nine people were killed and many others injured in the explosion.
Accused Yaqoob and Asif, however, pleaded not guilty, when Judge Abdul Ghafoor Memon of the ATC-2 framed charges on them.
The bomb, planted in a sugarcane-crushing machine, had exploded around 6:45 pm on January 17, 2000 near Pakistan Chowk in the police limits of Arambagh.
The prosecution, led by special public prosecutor Mazhar Qayyum, examined first five prosecution witnesses in the case. The PWs were two medicolegal officers and three injured victims.
The judge put off the hearing of the case to Tuesday for recording the testimonies of other prosecution witnesses.
