A sessions court has acquitted Uzair Baloch, chief of the outlawed Peoples Amn Committee (PAC), in as many as three 11-year-old cases pertaining to possession of explosives for lack of evidence.
The alleged Lyari gangster was charged in the three cases based on confessions made by three accused, who were arrested after allegedly being found in possession of illegal arms and explosives in 2012. They purportedly admitted to supplying arms and explosives to Baloch and another gang war commander, Noor Muhammad, alias Baba Ladla.The additional district and sessions judge-VI (West), who conducted the trial in the judicial complex inside the central prison, pronounced his order after recording evidence and final arguments from both the defence prosecution sides.
He ruled that the prosecution failed to prove the charges against Baloch.
