An anti terrorism court (ATC) on Thursday acquitted three sons of the chief of the banned outfit Tanzeem Nifaz Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) Maulana Sufi Muhammad.
Judge Asim Imam acquitted Abdullah, Abdur Rehman and Fazlullah, who were charged by Saidu Sharif police in treason, terrorism and murder cases after the prosecution failed to prove its case on February 16, 2008.
Police officials however said the accused were only acquitted in cases registered against them by Saidu Sharif police station and were in custody in other cases.
