KARACHI, June 2: Mohajir Qaumi Movement (Haqiqi) chairman Afaq Ahmed was on Saturday acquitted in two murder cases for want of evidences.

Mr Ahmed had filed an acquittal plea under Section 265-K of the Criminal Procedure Code in two murder cases registered against him.

He was charged with killing a man, Mansoor Sheikh, within the remit of the Shah Faisal Colony police station and another man, Ajmal, in the jurisdiction of the Al-Falah Society police station in 2009.—APP
