Court sentences three to hand, foot amputation
2006-03-14
MULTAN: A sessions court has ordered the amputation of one hand and one foot each of three people for robbing a bank. Khalid Naveed Dar, the Sahiwal additional district and sessions judge, passed the sentence on Ghulam Nabi, Qalandar Bakhsh and Mumtaz Ahmed, for a Rs 60,000 robbery in which no one was injured. According to the prosecution, the accused raided a National Bank branch in Chichawatni, some 75 miles east of Multan, on July 15, 2002 and made off with cash. Police arrested one of the accused for possessing an illegal weapon and his involvement in the bank robbery was ascertained during the interrogation. He revealed the identity of his other two accomplices who were later arrested as well.
