(MQM) worker to imprisonment for life after finding him guilty of involvement in the murder of three holy mans in Karachi in 2013. The court, however, acquitted three other accused MQM workers due to ’lack of evidence’.

Four accused said to be associated with the MQM ‐ Syed Haider Ali alias Police Wala, Asghar alias Kaka Banda, Wajahat alias Chikna and Syed Ali Hassan Zaidi ‐ were detained after being charged with the murder of Mufti Abdul Majeed Deenpuri, Mufti Muhammad Saleh and Moulana Hassan Ali Shah in a assassination in broad daylight near the Nursery flyover on Sharae Faisal on January 31, 2013.

On Monday, the ATC-XX judge, who conducted the trial in the judicial complex inside the central prison, pronounced his verdict, which was reserved earlier after recording the evidence and hearing final arguments from both sides.

The judge acquitted three men ‐ Syed Haider Ali, Asghar and Wajahat ‐ of the charges of premeditated murder due to the lack of evidence and ordered them to be released forthwith if their custody was not required in any other case.

However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
the judge found the fourth accused Syed Ali Hassan Zaidi guilty of premeditated murder and terrorism, sentencing him to life imprisonment.

According to the prosecution, the gunnies had sprayed bullets on the vehicle of the holy mans, who shuffled off the mortal coil.
