Courts sentence multiple offenders
The Anti-Terrorism and Sessions Courts in Rawalpindi district on Thursday awarded strict punishments to convicts involved in cases of explosives recovery, murder, and narcotics trafficking. In a major decision, special Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Judge Amjad Ali Shah sentenced five individuals to a combined 65 years of imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs500,000 each in a case concerning the possession of explosive materials. The court also ordered the confiscation of all movable and immovable properties of the convicts. The case, registered by the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on September 12, 2023, named Abdul Rashid, Rizwanullah, Luqman Khan, Wahid Khan, and Irfanullah as the accused. In the event of non-payment of fines, each convict will serve an additional six months in prison. The court awarded seven years of rigorous imprisonment under Section 5 of the Explosives Act, three years and a fine of Rs50,000 under Section 11-F(6) of the Anti-Terrorism Act, and three years and another Rs50,000 fine under Section 11-W of the Anti-Terrorism Act. The time already spent in custody will be counted as part of their sentence. Following the ruling, all five convicts were transferred to Adiala Jail. In a separate murder case, Additional District and Sessions Judge Rai Afzal Hussain Kharal sentenced Zafar Mehmood to death and imposed a fine of Rs1m for the murder of a young man, Abdul Karim, over a property dispute in Gujjar Khan. The case was registered on March 13, 2010, after which the convict fled and remained at large until his arrest last year. Additionally, in two separate narcotics smuggling cases, the court sentenced two individuals to a total of 18 years of imprisonment and imposed fines totalling Rs160,000. Muhammad Akhtar, arrested with 1,600 grams of narcotics from Dhamyal, was sentenced to nine years and fined Rs80,000. Khial Muhammad, arrested with 1,400 grams of narcotics from the Saddar Wah area, also received a 9-year sentence and a fine of Rs80,000. All three convicts were also shifted to Adiala Jail following their sentencing.

12 exonerated in M6 case
The Accountability Court No1 Hyderabad, presided over by Judge Naseem Akhtar Soomro, has acquitted 12 accused from district Naushahro Feroze in the mega corruption reference related to the purchase of land for the Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway (M-6). The reference involved over Rs5 billion in alleged corruptions. However, cases are still in progress against 30 suspects, including the axed deputy commissioners of Matiari and Naushehro Feroze districts, who are on the run after pocketing billions of rupees meant for buying land for the motorway. The court accepted the acquittal pleas filed by the accused and released them with honour after concluding that no evidence had been found against them during investigations conducted by NAB and the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE). The acquitted individuals include two former Mukhtiarkars, three clerks, three tapedars, and the former personal assistant (PA) of the ex-deputy commissioner of Naushehro Feroze. The decision was reserved after final arguments by the counsels and was issued yesterday in a two-page written judgment. The judgment stated that no incriminating material was found against the applicants during the investigations, and NAB's special prosecutor had also confirmed the absence of any evidence on record. The Anti-Corruption Establishment had initially investigated the alleged corruption in the land acquisition process and later transferred the case to NAB. The accused were acquitted under Section 265 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPrC). Those acquitted include, Shafiq Ahmed Soomro (former Mukhtiarkar Mehrabpur), Niaz Ali Ajan, (former Mukhtiarkar Bhirya City), Abdul Aziz Ansari (former PA to DC Naushehro Feroze), Abdul Ghaffar Depar (former senior clerk), Ghulam Haqqani Sehto and Tanveer Ali Mallah (former tapedars), Rustam Khoso (former accounts clerk), Khalid Masood Channa (private contractor), Sajjad Ahmed Memon (former social welfare officer), Aftab Ahmed Soomro and Siraj Ahmed Memon (stamp vendors) and Abdul Ghaffar Marri (Notary Public). It is pertinent to mention that NAB had filed this reference in the accountability court in 2023, alleging Rs5.8 billion embezzlement in funds allocated for land acquisition for the M-6 Motorway in districts Matiari and Naushehro Feroze. The case included several government officials, private contractors, and individuals, with a total of 42 persons named as accused. While 12 have now been acquitted, the reference against the remaining 30 accused, including suspended DC Matiari Adnan Rasheed and absconding/suspended DC Naushehro Feroze Tashfeen Alam, is still under trial in Accountability Court No. 1.

Police bust honey trap racket in Pindi
Dozens of men aged from 25 to 75 arrested in connection of pedophile activities in France. PHOTO: PEXELS A honey trap gang allegedly operating in Rawalpindi has been exposed, with a police sub-inspector and a government lawyer found involved in aiding the network. An FIR has been registered at Chakala police station against the gang leader and accomplices, including Sub-Inspector Azhar Iqbal Gondal and government lawyer Nadeem Sultani. According to the complaint filed by ASI Ehsanullah, the gang extorted large sums from citizens using women in honey trap schemes. Charges include extortion, threats, aiding crime, and violations under the Anti-Rape Investigation and Trial Act and Police Order. The accused, Nosherwan alias Niazi, Zil Shah, Qaiser Mehmood, Rashid Ali, Sub-Inspector Azhar Iqbal Gondal, former constable Mohsin Gondal, lawyer Nadeem Sultani, and fake lawyer Ali Gondal, allegedly lured victims through women, lodged false cases using forged IDs, and demanded hefty sums for out-of-court settlements after arranging fake medical and DNA reports. The gang, including officers, maintained regular contact with law enforcement and judicial officials. Gondal and Sultani allegedly received a share of the extorted money and facilitated the gang in police stations and courts. The gang leaders — Nosherwan alias Niazi and Afzal Bukhari alias Zil Shah — were arrested in Sohawa, Jhelum. Their arrest prevented the gang from producing forged ID holders in court. Authorities say the gang had filed multiple bogus cases across Rawalpindi and other districts, using deception and fraud to extort large sums under the guise of legal action. Investigations are underway.
