Pakistani man gets life term for attacking teenager with acid
The district and sessions judge in Muzaffargarh also imposed a fine of Rs 1.2 million on Farooq Shah. He said Rs 1 million of this amount should be given to the victim.
During proceedings yesterday, the judge further ordered the sale of the convict's property for payment of the compensation and fine.
Shah, 25, threw acid on the girl after she reportedly resisted his attempts to rape her. The girl suffered burns on her face and neck.
A case was registered against Shah in April in Muzaffargarh district, 400 km from Lahore, the capital of Punjab.
