The verdict in the trial of a Raajje TV cameraman charged with obstructing police officers was delayed Monday.
Adam Zareer was told the judge overseeing his case had called in sick and postponed the verdict to February 27 when he turned up at the criminal court at 2pm.
Zareer was arrested in March 2015 during the opposition-aligned station’s coverage of an anti-government protest. The court heard closing arguments in Zareer’s case on November 29.
The 29-year-old cameraman has denied charges, contending that he was at protest to report. He said he was carrying his camera and had an accredited press pass.
