A Karachi model court on 14 July 2021 awarded death sentence to a real estate agent for murdering a businessman over a personal dispute.
Sohail Abdul Salam Mughal was found guilty of shooting to death Munawwar Ali over suspicion of abducting his wife and three daughters in New Town.
The additional district and sessions’ judge, Haleem Ahmed, of the model criminal trial court (East) pronounced the judgement.
The judge also ordered the convict to pay Rs1 million in compensation to the legal heirs of the victim. On default, he would undergo imprisonment for six months.
The murder was committed on 13 January 2019.
However, the sentence is subject to confirmation or otherwise by the Sindh High Court.
In his statement the accused denied the allegations and claimed his innocence.
On the other hand, defence counsel Khawaja Naveed Ahmed argued that his client was framed in the present case and pleaded to acquit him of the false charges.
About the wife and daughters of the convict, the investigating officer of the case told Dawn that they had not been kidnapped and that the wife along with the daughters had separated from the husband of her own free will and they were living happily.
