The verdicts announced by ATC Judge Manzar Ali Gill at Kot Lakhpat Jail, have acquitted several individuals while sentencing others to prison terms.
In the Jinnah House attack case, where vehicles were set ablaze near the Corps Commander’s residence, former Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi was acquitted along with six others, including Sohail Khan, Awais, Rafiuddin, Farid Khan, Salman Ahmed, Abdul Qadir, and Faizan, due to insufficient evidence.
