ISLAMABAD: Imran Ali, the prime accused of lynching Mashal Khan, a student of Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan (AWKUM) over the allegation of blasphemy in 2017, has moved Supreme Court seeking his acquittal from charges in the case.
He has filed an appeal in the apex court through his counsel Syed Abdul Fayyaz, praying to grant leave to appeal against the impugned judgment passed by the Peshawar High Court (PHC) on November 19, 2020 and prayed that he may be acquitted from charge in the interest of justice.
The Peshawar High Court had upheld the conviction by an anti-terrorism court of 33 people accused of lynching student Mashal Khan.
