Sindh High Court annulled the life imprisonment sentence of award-winning filmmaker, Mansoor Mujahid and his female friend Anab Zahra for the murder of their friend Faisal Nabi Malik and burning his body to hide the crime in 2013.
The court declared in the verdict that the accused should be released from jail if they are not wanted in any other case.
A case was registered against them in the Clifton police station.
Additional District and Sessions' Judge Kamran Atta Soomro of the model criminal trial court (South) had sentenced Mujahid and Anab Zehra Hameed to life imprisonment on October 30, 2019.
Mujahid, Anab, Nabi and Masooma Abdi were consuming drugs at Mujahid's apartment when there was a heated argument between Mujahid and Nabi. During the heated exchange of words, Mujahid shot dead nabi.
After his arrest, in an interview with The Express Tribune in June 2013, Mujahid claimed, "It is true that the gun was in my hands but I did not kill him intentionally. It was just an accident."
