A member of the Human Rights Council of Pakistan places an oil lamp to pay tribute to Sri Lankan factory manager Priyantha Kumara. The prime accused, Taimoor Ahmad, had filed the writ petition in the provincial high court. Advocate Israr argued that the trial court injudiciously framed charges on the accused despite a lack of recorded evidence. The gut-wrenching incident took place on Sialkot’s Wazirabad Road, where workers of private factories brutally lynched the Sri Lankan national, Priyantha Kumara. ATC has indicted 89 suspects, while the suspects denied their involvement in the lynching of the Sri Lankan national.
