Shahzab Khan’s murder case: Shahrukh Jatoi surrenders in Dubai

Monday, January 14th, 2013 10:00:06 by

Shahrukh Jatoi – prime suspect in Shahzeb Khan’s murder case – has apparently surrendered himself to officials at Pakistan’s consulate in Dubai.

 

Shahrukh had reportedly escaped to Dubai after allegedly killing Shahzeb Khan in Karachi. Shahzeb was murdered on December 25, 2012 over a petty dispute in Karachi’s Defence area allegedly by Shahrukh.

 

Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry took suo motu notice of the killing and ordered police to arrest the suspects. Police managed to apprehend Siraj Talpur, his brother Sajjad Talpur and their cook. However, they failed to arrest Shahrukh.

 

In a bid to force Shahrukh to return to Pakistan, or turn himself in, police had taken his father, Sikander Jatoim into custody. Police, who had sent a delegation to Dubai, had claimed that Shahrukh had been arrested in the emirates and would be repatriated as soon as legal formalities are fulfilled.

 

It is worth mentioning here that Shahrukh’s father Sikandar Jatoi was arrested outside court after the Supreme Court rejected his plea of any relief and a Karachi court handed him over to police on remand.

 

Pakistani Ambassador in Dubai confirmed that the accused had surrendered. Handing himself over to the Pakistan officials in Dubai, Shahrukh said that allegations against him were baseless and that he would prove his innocence.

 

Reports said that some paperwork was being carried out between the consulate officials and the Dubai authorities for Shahrukh’s custody.

 

Meanwhile, IG Sindh said steps were being taken to bring Shahrukh Jatoi to Pakistan and he would be brought to the country in a day or two. The passport of Shahrukh Jatoi has also been cancelled.
