KARACHI: The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday acquitted a man 14 years after he was wrongfully convicted of murder in Karachi’s Korangi area.

Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, heading the three-member bench hearing the case, observed that the prosecution failed to prove their case.

Shaukat was accused of murdering a man named Sagheer in 2003, for which he was sentenced to life by a trial court.

The Sindh High Court also upheld the sentence after Shaukat filed an appeal.—INP
