An anti-terrorism court on Thursday sentenced a convict in the Bhola Gujjar murder case to life imprisonment on four counts. Four convicts had earlier been sentenced by the anti-terrorism court to death and life imprisonment.
The court declared the rest of the suspects proclaimed offenders and said they would be prosecuted once the police had arrested them.
The prosecution for the case said Naveed Commando and his accomplices Nafees, Anjum Niaz, Police Constable Muhammad Tahir, Ayaz and others had shot dead Asghar Ali alias Bhola Gujjar, the former Faisalabad market committee chairman, and his driver Siddique on January 9.

The anti-terrorism court had also sentenced the four convicts to two years imprisonment under Section 148 of Pakistan Penal Code (rioting, armed with dangerous weapons) and directed them to pay Rs2 million each as compensation and fine.
The court had declared the other suspects including Ayaz Bubbly and former Kotwali SHO Rana Farrukh Waheed as proclaimed offenders. Ayaz Bubbly was arrested by the Interpol in Dubai and was brought back to Pakistan for prosecution.
Judge Raja Parvaiz Akhtar on Thursday sentenced Ayaz Bubbly to life imprisonment on four counts under Section 302-B of Pakistan Penal Code and Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA). He has also been directed to pay Rs1 million as fine and Rs1 million as compensation to the victims’ families.
