Former MPA Abdul Majeed Achakzai sentenced to 10 years in jail
Abdul Majeed Achakzai's sentence follows a government appeal against a 2020 acquittal, with an order for his immediate arrest over the 2017 Quetta death of a traffic sub-inspector.
Balochistan High Court sentenced former MPA Abdul Majeed Achakzai to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment.
The court set aside a 4 September 2020 acquittal after a government appeal.
He was found guilty under section 320 of the Pakistan Penal Code and ordered to pay diyat to the heirs.
The court ordered his immediate arrest and that he be sent to jail.
The case concerns traffic sub-inspector Attaullah, who died in Quetta in June 2017 after a car hit him on duty.
