KARACHI: An Anti-terrorism court in Karachi on Wednesday reserved the verdict in Baldia factory fire tragedy case after arguments from both sides concluded Wednesday.

The court remarked that a verdict would be announced in the case if no new arguments are presented before the court and adjourned the proceedings for September 17.

The prosecution has submitted key evidence in the case against the accused as Zubair aka Chariya, Rehman aka Bhola and others were presented before the ATC today.

It is pertinent to mention that on July 05, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) in its conclusive report stated that the Baldia Town factory inferno incident was ‘a terrorism act’, rejecting it as an accident where more than 250 people had been burnt alive on September 11 – 2012 in Karachi. NNI
