Sikander Jatoi, the father of prime main accused Shahrukh Jatoi in the Shahzeb Khan Murder Case was arrested by Sindh police outside the Supreme Court on Thursday.
During the proceedings, Sikander Jatoi’s counsel Abdul Hazfeez Pirzada submitted a plea seeking to delay client’s arrestment until his arrival in Karachi. The apex court, however, declined the request.
Sikander Jatoi had been named in the FIR of the murder as an accused for helping his son, Shahrukh Jatoi, to flee the Dubai.
During the hearing the head of three-member bench Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry remarked that no one is above the law and Sikander Jatoi should cooperate with the police in the investigation of case.
Shahzeb Khan’s assassination resulted from a small argument he had with Nawab Siraj Talpur, when the latter’s servant harassed his sister. Siraj Talpur and Shahrukh Jatoi allegedly followed Shahzeb and gunned him down near the Country Club.
Meanwhile, the hearing of case has been adjourned till January 16.
