ATC awards jail terms to two persons in explosives recovery cases
LAHORE, Jun 30 (APP): An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Tuesday sentenced two accused, allegedly linked to a proscribed organisation, to five years’ rigorous imprisonment each in separate cases involving the recovery of explosive material.
ATC Judge Malik Abid Hussain announced the verdict and also ordered the confiscation of the convicts’ properties in favour of the state. The accused, Abdul Baith and Kaleem Ullah, were produced before the court from jail when the judgment was announced.
During the trial, Prosecutor Mian Tufail argued that explosive material had been recovered from the possession of the accused and that they were allegedly involved in terrorist activities while maintaining links with a proscribed organisation. After examining the evidence, the court found both accused guilty in their respective cases and awarded them five years’ rigorous imprisonment each.
According to the prosecution, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), Lahore, had registered separate cases against the two accused in 2025 over the recovery of explosive material and subsequently submitted the challans before the court.
