A sessions court on Saturday acquitted all three accused of stage actor Sangam Rana’s murder after the victim’s mother forgave them in court, a private media outlet reported.

In December 2015, after Sangam was found dead at her residence, the police had suspected foul play and treated it as a murder case despite her relatives insisting that she had committed suicide.

Days later, the deceased’s mother, Sughran Bibi, had filed an application alleging that her daughter was murdered and her death was being portrayed as suicide to mislead the police.

According to reports, Sughra Bibi on Saturday pardoned Akash Ramzan, Usman and Amna Bibi — the three accused in the case — following which the additional sessions judge passed the order of their acquittal.
