The Supreme Court's Lahore Registry has rejected the appeal of convict Imran Ali against the death sentence handed down to him for raping and murdering a minor girl Zainab in Kasur.

A three-judge bench, comprising Justices Asif Saeed Khosa, Manzoor Ahmed Malik, and Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, dismissed the convict's appeal and upheld the death penalty awarded to him by an anti-terrorism court.
