The police incorporated Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) in the case, meaning it will now be heard by an anti-terrorism court and not an ordinary court. They produced the suspect before the sessions court due to the absence of an ATC judge.
Shafqat, one of the two men believed to be the culprits of the gang rape on Lahore-Sialkot motorway last week was arrested yesterday and he confessed to his crime. Whereas, Abid Ali is still at large and is expected to be arrested soon.
