Karachi (HRNW) – An Additional Sessions Judge of the Model Criminal Trial Court, Syed Zaheer Ahmed Naqvi, has sentenced three convicts—Samiullah, Muhammad Salman, and Abdul Rahim—to life imprisonment for the murder of a young man, Osama, during a mobile phone robbery in Karachi.
The Court convicted the three men under Section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code, sentencing each to life imprisonment and ordering them to pay Rs. 100,000 each as compensation to the victim’s legal heirs. The Court also imposed an additional seven-year prison sentence under Section 397, along with a Rs. 100,000 fine on each convict.
According to court records, the incident occurred within the jurisdiction of Sir Syed Town Police Station in North Karachi, where the accused allegedly shot and killed Osama after he resisted an attempt to snatch his mobile phone.
Human Rights Perspective
Human Rights News Worldwide (HRNW) emphasizes that the right to life, personal security, and access to justice are fundamental human rights protected under both Pakistan’s Constitution and international human rights standards.
Violent street crimes not only deprive victims of their lives and property but also create fear and insecurity within communities. While those responsible for serious crimes must be held accountable through lawful judicial processes, victims and their families are equally entitled to justice, effective legal remedies, and appropriate support. Strengthening crime prevention, effective policing, and public safety measures remains essential to protecting the rights and security of all citizens.
