Life imprisonment for acid throwers in PaK

Islamabad, Mar 10: The government of Pakistan-administered Kashmir is all set to introduce a law that will punish culprits involved in acid throwing on women, with life imprisonment and fine amounting to one million rupees.
 The government has initiated efforts to legalise the framework that would punish the culprits who are involved in acid throwing incidents, the Geo News reported Saturday.
 According to sources, President Sardar Muhammad Yaqoob Khan has approved life imprisonment and one million rupees fine for the accused involved in acid throwing.
 The ordinance will remain effective for three months until the legislation is passed.
 The attacks are often done in violent retaliation by a rebuffed suitor or a would-be marriage partner, Washington Post reported. IANS
