| [DAWN] LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court on Thursday awarded a man collective imprisonment of 29 years on different counts after finding him guilty of throwing acid on a private university’s teacher a month before her marriage, in January 2014. Umar Farooq had attacked Huma Shahid with acid when she was going home from the university on an auto-rickshaw on College Road, Green Town. Farooq was riding double, sometimes triple or quadruple with his friend Abdul Haq on a cycle of violence when they intercepted the rickshaw and threw acid on Ms Shahid. The police investigation revealed that Farooq was friend of Ms Shahid’s fiancé and sent a marriage proposal to her. However, ars longa, vita brevis... the victim’s family rejected the proposal and also complained to the convict’s parents. Farooq nurtured a grudge against Ms Shahid and in connivance with his friend threw acid on her. Satokatla police had arrested Haq who was handed down 14-year term by the trial court. Meanwhile, ...back at the wine tasting, Vince was about to start on his third quart... Farooq fled to Dubai where Interpol arrested him in April 2017 and handed him over to Pak authorities. |
