Shahzeb Khan case: Arrest killers by evening or lose jobs, warns CJ
The chief justice warned concerned authorities to arrest Shahzeb Khan’s murderers by evening, or risk losing their jobs, Express News reported on Friday.
This is the first hearing of the suo motu notice taken by the Supreme Court on Shahzeb Khan’s murder.
As the hearing began, the IG Sindh failed to appear, irking the chief justice.
A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry is hearing the case in which 20-year-old Shahzeb was killed over a small argument allegedly by feudals.
The court had summoned the advocate general Sindh as well as IG Police Sindh, Fiyyaz Leghari.
The latter, however, did not appear in court and was then given a 12pm deadline for appearing before the bench.
According to reports, influential people were standing in the way of the investigation and arrest of the suspects, upon which the chief justice had taken a suo motu notice.
Police have failed to arrest any of the accused nominated in the murder of Shahzeb, who was shot dead near his home in Defence last week. A popular student and son of DSP Aurangzaib, Shahzeb’s murder created an uproar in civil society.
