Anti-terrorism court Saturday acquitted the Shahbaz Bhatti murder case accused Zia-ur-Rahman due to lack of evidence. Former federal minister for minorities Shahbaz Bhatti was shot dead last year in March in Islamabad. However, police have still not arrested the murderers. Police arrested John Alexander soon after the murder but he was released due to lack of evidence. Later on, police issued red warrants for a U.S. resident Abid Malik and a Dubai tenant Ziaur Rehman. Rawalpindi Anti-Terrorist Court No. II Judge Rana Masood heard the Shahbaz Bhatti murder case here After verifying their visa, travel history and passport, the police told the court on Saturday that both the persons have no link to the case. This prompted Zia-ur-Rahman’s lawyer Zulfiquar to withdraw his bail petition, while the court disposed off the case.
