Masroor Ali, Ammar and Arsalan were found guilty of kidnapping Shoaib Adil, 18, for ransom and killing him despite being paid the money.

They were arrested by the police during a raid in Hangora Goth and confessed to killing Adil. The body was recovered from a dumping yard near Malir Nadi. The ATC-V judge, Javed Alam, sent the three men to jail on two counts of life imprisonment, collectively 56 years in prison. The convicts were also ordered to pay a fine of Rs100,000.
