Overview
- The Additional District and Sessions Court convicted Farrukh Khokhar, Amir Hamza and Haidar Ali and sentenced them to life imprisonment in a verdict delivered Tuesday.
- Each convict was ordered to pay Rs1 million as compensation and one other accused, Waseem, was acquitted for lack of proof.
- Court staff took Farrukh Khokhar into custody immediately after the ruling, handcuffed him and ordered his transfer to Adiala Jail under heavy security.
- Prosecutors said investigators built the case using CCTV footage, forensic evidence and eyewitness testimony and argued the killing grew out of a land dispute and personal rivalry.
- The victim, Majid Satti, was a prominent transport union leader and PTI activist whose 2022 killing drew sustained public attention and prompted police to stress this conviction as vindication of their long investigation.
