An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Wednesday handed down life imprisonment to two couples involved in a kidnapping for ransom case.
ATC Judge Shahzad Hussain announced the verdict after hearing the arguments and examining evidence.
According to the prosecution, Shabbir Ahmad was travelling by his car at Canal Road when accused Ghazala signaled him to stop on the pretext of taking lift on February 18, 2020.
Later the accused along with her husband Fazal Mahmood and other accomplices, Raees and his wife Farhana, kidnapped Ahmad and demanded ransom from his family.
Mansoorabad police rescued him after three days and later submitted the challan in the court.
