 in December of last year on charges of making hate speeches and possessing weapons.

Counter Terrorism Department cop shoppe Rawalpindi registered an FIR against him under various sections of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) and the Pakistain Penal Code.

On December 31 Farooqi, with his lover companions and gunnies, was taken into custody after a joint patrolling team of the police and Rangers intercepted their double-cabin pickup truck at a checkpost near Tramri Chowk.

The police said Farooqi and his lover companions were arrested after illegal weapons, including a 12-bore pump action shotgun, two 44-bore rifles, two 9mm pistols and bullets were recovered from their possession.

Public prosecutor Noor Khan told the court during a hearing that the Mufti, a prayer leader at a mosque in Taxila, delivered hate speeches. The lawyer also said Farooqi gave out visiting cards which referred to him as the president of ASWJ Pindi chapter.

Mr Khan reminded the court that under section 11/F of the ATA, a person claiming affiliation with any banned outfit is liable to be punished with a minimum prison sentence of six months. The ATC judge, in addition to the prison sentence, also ordered the convict to pay a fine of Rs50,000.
