Pakistani National Sentenced for 2016 Attack
A man named Hanzullah Yaseen Raie, also known as Abu Ukasa, from Pakistan was caught in 2016 for attacking Indian security forces.
A court in India recently sentenced him to 10 years in jail.
The judge gave him a lighter sentence because he admitted to his crimes and no one was hurt in the attack.
He was also fined Rs 20,000.
The judge said that even though his crimes were serious, they were not the worst kind of attempted murder.
After his sentence, he will be sent back to Pakistan.
Hanzullah Yaseen Raie, a 27-year-old Pakistani national, was sentenced to 10 years rigorous imprisonment for a 2016 attack on security forces.
The court considered his voluntary confession and the absence of injuries in the attack.
He was fined Rs 20,000 and will serve an additional month if he fails to pay.
The sentences for all charges will run concurrently.
The convict has been in custody since June 20, 2016, and is expected to be released by mid next year.
