2019-10-22
MULTAN: Prosecution moved the Multan bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) against acquittal of five accused in social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch’s murder case on Monday.
A model court sentenced for life to Wasim, one of brothers of Qadeel, and acquitted five other accused including known cleric Mufti Abdul Qavi in the case on Sept 27.
The prosecution appealed to the high court against the verdict and prayed for reviewing it.
It said the court did not consider all proofs and acquitted the other accused.
Those against whom the prosecution appealed included Mufti Abdul Qavi, Zafar, Abdul Basit, Haqnawaz and Aslam Shaheen.—APP
