The prosecution told the court that accused Sheikh Muhammad, a resident of Bhakkar, and his son Azhar Hussain had gunned down their relative Amir Shahzad over a domestic dispute in 2015.
The local police had registered a case against the accused and presented the challan before the court. After hearing the arguments, the judge handed down death sentence to Sheikh Muhammad along with a fine of Rs0.2 million as compensation money. However, the judge acquitted Azhar Hussain over lack of evidence.
