A local court on Tuesday acquitted former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Raja Khuram Nawaz in the Azadi March violence case.
Judicial Magistrate Raja Farrukh Khan announced the verdict in the case in which two workers were also acquitted. The judicial magistrate approved the acquittal request, stating that Section 109 of the Penal Code applies only when a crime has been committed. “Without participation in a crime, Section 109 cannot be proven.”
Lawyers Ali Bukhari and Sardar Masroof represented Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Raja Khuram Nawaz, respectively.
A court order has been issued acquitting PTI leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi and other accused in the May 9 case.
