KARACHI: Police constable Noor Muhammad was acquitted on Friday of charges of raping a minor girl.

Traffic Police Constables Noor Muhammad and Bashir Ahmed were charged with kidnapping, raping, killing and throwing the body of a girl, Sana, into a manhole in Karachi.

They were sentenced to death by an anti-terrorism court after two witnesses Munir Ahmed and Mohammad Yasin, who were the neighbours of the accused, testified against them, as reported by Dawn.com.

The accused then appealed against the sentence in the Sindh High Court, as a result of which Noor Muhammad was acquitted while Bashir Ahmed's appeal was rejected.

Ali Haider | 14 years ago | Reply This is a classic example of incomplete reporting. For instance, what do you mean by Noor Muhammad was acquitted. That means he was freed. Is this the case? Or his sentence was reduced to life in prison?

muhammad saad | 14 years ago | Reply This is horrific!! Why do we have a culture of protecting Paedophiles?? As it is paedophiles in this country don't get caught,when they do get caught they get released back into society to rape someone else's children again. Paedophiles can't change.They have an inherent urge to rape children & this monster will rape children again.Why isn't our media covering this?? the tv channels are so obsessed by mundane things that they are ignoring this atrocity.
