A sessions court on Saturday acquitted notorious Lyari gangster Uzair Baloch in two murder cases citing lack of evidence.
The chief of the defunct Peoples Amn Committee was charged with double murder of a rival gang of Arshad Pappu in Lyari in 2004.
During the trials, however, the prosecution was unable to produce sufficient evidence against Baloch.
Baloch is currently facing charges for around five dozen cases of serious crimes – including murder, attempts to murder, kidnapping, extortion, and terrorism in special courts.
Baloch has been sentenced by a military court to 12 years in prison for spying for Iranian intelligence agencies.
