LAHORE: A judicial magistrate on Wednesday sentenced three men to seven-year imprisonment for committing robbery at the house of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s nephew last year.

The convicts — Mahmood Ahmad, Kazim (both brothers) and Fahad — lived near the house of Sher Shah Khan, a nephew of the premier.

The robbers had held Sher Shah’s family hostage at gunpoint and took away cash, jewellery, mobile phones and antique pistols, all worth Rs1.2m.

Racecourse police had registered an FIR and transferred the investigation to the CIA police that arrested the robbers.

A magistrate at the Cantonment Courts handed down seven-year term, along with Rs45,000 fine to each convict.
