Set Free: Three acquitted of murder

LAHORE: An additional district and sessions judge acquitted three men of murder charges, giving them the benefit of doubt. Muhammad Shehzad, Younas and Naeem were accused of killing Mushtaq Ahmed over a petty issue. Ahmed’s wife Bushra Bibi had filed a complaint against the three men at the Baghbanpura police station. Younas had been kept in prison while the other two men were out on bail. After hearing detailed arguments from both sides, the court acquitted the three suspects.
