During proceedings, Uzair Baloch’s lawyer argued that the charges against his client were baseless and that the prosecution had no evidence linking him to the crime.

“Uzair Baloch should be acquitted of all charges,” said defence counsel Haider Farooq Jatoi.

The prosecution maintained that on May 7, 2012, police had arrested a suspect named Shamsuddin and recovered a substantial cache of weapons and ammunition.

According to the investigation, Shamsuddin had confessed to procuring the weapons and ammunition from Balochistan for Uzair Baloch and another Lyari gang leader, Baba Ladla, and supplying them.

Uzair Baloch was nominated in the case in 2021, following his arrest through Interpol from Dubai.

After hearing arguments from both sides, the court concluded that the prosecution had failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the charges against Uzair Baloch.
