Minutes before the judgement was announced, MM News learnt that two prosecution witnesses retracted their statement, saying they didn’t see recovery of narcotics from Rana Sanaullah. Farhad Shah Advocate said both of the witnesses were linked to ‘recovery-memo’ (of narcotics), but both retracted their statement.

The decision by Lahore-based special court came within hours after Rana Sanaullah filed petition, seeking acquittal for himself and others in the case. He contended that the prosecution didn’t have any incriminating piece of evidence against them and emphasized that the story narrated in the first information report (FIR) was ‘concocted and fabricated’.

In this petition filed today for acquittal, Rana Sanaullah alleged that this was a case of political victimisation, citing Fawad Chaudhry’s statement on TV in which he had had categorically admitted that this case was not lodged during deposed premier Imran Khan’s government and that the case was filed by ‘influential people’ within the country.
