KARACHI: Parents of Shahzeb Khan – the 20-year-old who was shot dead in Karachi last year – have filed an application in a court, pardoning the murderers, Express News reported on Monday.

On December 25, last year, Shahzeb Khan, 20, was gunned down by Shahrukh Jatoi, who was accompanied by his friends, Siraj and Sajjad Talpur. The young men had a fight after the Talpur’s servant, Ghulam Murtaza Lashari, teased Shahzeb’s sister.
An anti-terrorism court had handed death sentences to main accused Shahrukh Jatoi and Siraj Talpur and life-long jail terms to Sajjad Talpur and Ghulam Murtaza Lashari on June 7.
Today, Shahzeb’s parents – DSP Aurangzeb Khan and Ambreen Aurangzeb – have decided to pardon the culprits in the “name of Allah.” They have further requested for their release.

Look at his photograph. Besharmi ki bhi had hoti hai. He is smiling as if he did something very humane and noble. Haram kay mal sey yeh hi paidwar ho sakti hai

Parents of Shahzeb Khan – the 20-year-old who was shot dead in Karachi last year – have filed an application in a court, pardoning the murderers, Express News reported on Monday.

Why should the parents have the power to do this? Why isn't murder considered a crime that society has to punish, rather than leave it to the family?

Yeh besharmi nahi badmashi hai ..

what non sense-

 

[Marwat Khan Lodhi]

i am disgusted, what a beghairat and spineless family to give up on their son like this. In our pashtun society such people are called "dawos".The murderer of their son is mocking them with that twisted smile

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Beghairat people... heard on tv tht the family took money.. 15-20 crore rs.







The blood money/diyat clause should be removed...

very dumb point

when there is lawlessness and feudal system, when their family is pressurised to accept blood money or face the consequences, then you have no other choice then accept blood money

by the way a very bad example, pakistani people esp burger bachas was so much protesting for getting justice, this is a real shame for this family

if there was any feudal pressure they should have come open in the media

its very shameful example

it will give very bad impression to their family and their deceased son

hey guys, we don`t even know what conditions and circumstances are their parents in?
there must be some reason for why they succumb. otherwise no parent even can see his child being beaten let leave the murder.

but one thing is damn sure that is they have been threatened.

well nabil gabol who was important part of this case said, they had not been pressurized/threatened

 

[Tayyab1796]

we all tend to forget the circumstances of the family ...and remember islam allows such compensation and an acceptance of it ... there is always a chance that the culprit may behave in future... but i have to accept that islamic scholars should decide the implications of such a case on society at large bcz the message to the masses in a nutshell is ' if u hav money u can kill someone and get away with it scot free though with some economic impairment' ... I fully endorse the family's decision to accept money ...none of us ghairatmand will be there to support or look after the family ... so its their decision and they must hav looked to the future ...

 

[Jungibaaz]

Forgiveness on a personal level is one thing.

The law should be the prime authority in terms of punishment here. Pardon a murder? Get off your backsides and allow justice to be served!

Victims should not be the ones to try and convict criminals, that is the job of the courts and the law.
