BADIN: The teacher of a seminary and his three associates were convicted in a gang rape and murder case of a 10-year-old girl student in 2014.
The FIR against Ghulam Murtaza Shar and his associates Waseem Arain, Bilawal Arain and Adil was lodged by the victim’s father on April 10, 2014 at Kadhan police station. The rape and murder of the girl had triggered protests by the Arain community in Kadhan and some other towns of Badin taluka over the next few weeks.
On Tuesday, the Second Additional Sessions Judge of Badin, Abdul Wahab Tunio, pronounced his judgement in the case. Shar was sentenced to death and his three accomplices to life imprisonment.

Very good. Make these punishments quick for all other cases too. So the monsters are alarmed and think 100 times before looking at a child with wrong intentions.

Justice was delayed in this case. If justice is dispensed on timely basis it can serve as deterrent for the potential rapists and murderers. Let us hope the pace of legal process would be increased.

@MIAN shoaib Justice must be validated. You should not kill people on impulse and argument without 100% verifiable proof of premeditated murder.

Why accomplices got only life imprisonment not death penalty? They all committed the heinous crime together!!!

A rapist of a minor girl got his due punishment after almost 4 years so we can better estimate now how much time it may take to punish the Zainab's murderer from Kasur plus there are still plenty of other pending rape cases as well. We urgently need judicial reforms for fair, transparent and speedy justice in Pakistan because the current judicial system is extremely slow.

At last some good news. I would like to congratulate Sindh government, police and courts for delivering the justice.
If justice prevails and institutes do their work honestly such sins and culprits will be vanished.
A happy day for us and for the perished one parents.

Justice delayed is equal to justice denied. There should be a limit within which a case should be decided. If there is enough evidence then the suspect should be punished immediately, however, if the prosecution does not have enough evidence then the suspect can be let go but the prosecution can always come back and retry the case when they have enough evidence.
