The Sewri fast track court acquitted Maulana Ghulam Yahya (47).

The cleric was charged with sheltering three Lashkar-e-Tayyeba militants from Jammu and Kashmir in January 2006 and acting as a link between the militants and Lashkar commander Salauddin in Kashmir.

The court, however, sentenced three militants — Mohammed Ramzan Haji (64), Kurisind Ahmed Lone (32) and Arshad Hussain Badru (29)—to seven years imprisonment.
