Multan anti terrorism court No I headed by Abdul Qadar Shad on Friday acquitted Malik Ishaq, the former chief of banned Lashkar-i-Jhangvi and his seven accomplices giving them benefit of the doubt in the murder of three men. âThe prosecution failed to prove the charge against Malik Ishaq, Ijaz Ahmed, Ghulam Rasul, Zubair Ahmed, Muhammad Yousaf, Usman Ahmed, Muhammad Zafar and Dilawar Hasnain,â the court official said. According to the first information report, three masked motorcyclists with automatic weapons allegedly entered the hotel of a shia activist in Faisalabad in 1997 and sprayed the place with bullets killing three men Sajjad Hussain, Abdul Hameed and Shafaat Hussain instantly. However, none of them could be released because they were convicted in other cases of sectarian killing.
