According to police, Muhammad Adnan of Sialkot had uploaded a video on his YouTube channel on the lynching incident in which he justified Kumara’s killing and burning of his body. Pronouncing the verdict on Friday, ATC Gujranwala judge Natasha Naeem sentenced Adnan to one year jail term, besides imposing a fine of PKR 10,000 on him.
