A court in Rawalpindi on Tuesday awarded the death penalty to five accused along with life prison and a cumulative sum of RS6.5 million in fines in a blasphemy recorded against those of the cyber crime wing in the federal investigative agency (FIA).

Additional District and Sessions Judge Tariq Ayub declared the verdict in court that were filled with lawyers and a large number of people. The court declared that the five criminals, Muhammad Arsalan, Ali Abbas, Faisal Rehan, Khurram Afzal and Zunair Sikandar, had been sentenced to death.

The extra judge and sessions judge gave up that the criminal sentences had committed a abominable crime and that they did not deserve any admission. After the verdict, the criminal sentences were moved to the Adiala prison in the middle of tight security.

Separately, police in Lahore AFP on Tuesday told the YouTube star, Rajab Butt, was indicted for blasphemy for naming his perfume -brand after the law department of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) related to blasphemy.

In a recent promotional video since he was deleted from his social media accounts, Butt launched his perfume, whose name referred to blasphemy legislation in the Criminal Code. The perfume commercial triggered IRE, prompting the head of Tehreek-E-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) to file a complaint late on Monday.

“Our religious feelings have been injured,” said TLP leader Haider Ali Shah Gillani. “There are several sections in the Criminal Code, but why did he choose blasphemi -related sections to name a perfume? This means you recognize the offense and celebrate it,” he added.

Butt posted an apology video on Sunday and claimed he was not against the blasphemy laws. “I apologize for the words I expressed during the launch of perfume,” he said. “I apologize and advertise the discontinuation of this perfume,” he added.

A police charging sheet seen by AFP and approved by a police officer on Tuesday describes the allegations against Butt, including blasphemy and cybercrime. In other legal problems, Butt pleaded guilty to January to own an undocumented wild animal. However, he avoided the prison period.
