An Anti-terrorism court sentenced Sindh Police Assistant Sub Inspector to death after he is proven guilty in the 2018 Maqsood murder case which the police earlier dubbed was an encounter with dacoits.
ATC handed death penalty to ASI Tariq who is found guilty of Maqsood’s murder. Aside aside from his death penalty award, the court has slapped on him compensatory fine of Rs200,000 due to be paid to the bereaved family.
The ATC, apart from ASI Taqriq, has issued lifetime arrest warrants for another officer, and absconder in the case, Aashiq Hussain Chachar who has been proven guilty in Maqsood’s murder as well.
According to the terrorism court, back in early 2018 the convicts accompanied with accomplices opened fire on a rickshaw on Sharea Faisal which resulted in on-the-spot death of Maqsood while his friend conceded injuries.
The police tried to dub the killing of innocent Maqsood as their bid to encounter an ongoing criminal activity.
