HARIPUR (Dunya News) – The decision to grant bail to as many as 32 suspects allegedly involved in Mashal Khan murder case is likely to be taken today (Thursday).
A hearing of the case was conducted at Central Jail in Haripur during which the statements of the witnesses were recorded.
Earlier this year, Mashal Khan, who was a mass communication student at Mardan’s Abdul Wali Khan University, was lynched to death by a mob of angry students over rumors that he and his friends committed blasphemy.
After Mashal’s murder, Supreme Court of Pakistan’s chief justice took notice and ordered a judicial inquiry. For this purpose, a joint investigation team was formed to investigate what led to the gruesome murder. The JIT report had revealed that the murder was committed with complete planning and it was not an incident.
The report also revealed that officials from the university administration were also involved in this murder. The report also stated that there were no solid proofs found about blasphemy committed by Mashal and his friends.
