Dawn: RAWALPINDI: A man booked for being allegedly involved in the murder of former minorities minister Shahbaz Bhatti, was acquitted by an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Saturday.
In the ATC-II hearing held by Special Judge Rana Masood in Rawalpindi, acquitted Zia-ur-Rehman and disposed of the case after an SHO of the I-9 Police Station in Islamabad said that no evidence was found against Rehman.
Zulfiqar Maloka, defence counsel, withdrew his bail plea after the court gave its decision.

Was this the guy who actually pulled the trigger or someone else?
It is shame that Pakistani prime minister Gilani dies not obey court orders, conviction and punishment and continues to defy involving entire parliament [pocket parliament] to stand against the judiciary in his support by way of resolution. Each and every criminal in Pakistan use ‘Gilani Deence’ in challenging the court in defiance. It is most likely the actual killer of Shahbaz Bhatti was not arrested and a fake person in the name of Zia Ur Rehman was pushed forward by Rehman Malik to dilute the minority anger and or if he was the killer belonged to TNR then the judge and SHO were under pressure to let him free without evidence. The title murder of justice is rightly justified by the writer.
