The court also awarded life imprisonment to two other accused, Amir Hamza and Haider Nawaz, along with a fine of Rs1 million each. All three convicts were later transferred to Adiala Jail.
The case relates to the killing of Majid Satti, who was allegedly murdered on August 23, 2022. A case was registered at Sadiqabad Police Station, with the accused facing charges in connection with the incident.
