Siraj Talpur killed Shahzaib: witnesses

The Lahore High Court on Wednesday granted one-day bail to Sikandar Jatoi, father of the main accused in the Shahzaib Khan murder case, as witnesses in Karachi pointed out Siraj Talpur as the person who shot at the 20-year-old youth. The bail orders were issued by the LHC on Sikandar’s request that he wanted to appear before the Supreme Court to record his statement in the case. Sikandar said that there were chances that the Karachi Police might arrest him to interrogate for the murder. In Karachi, witnesses identified the three accused, Siraj Talpur, Sajjad Talpur and Murtaza Lashari during identity parade in the judicial magistrate’s court. Investigation officer Mubeen quoted one of the witnesses as saying that Siraj Talpur had fired at Shahzaib on the directions of Sajjad and Murtaza last month in the Defence area of the metropolis. The main accused in the case, Shahrukh Jatoi is still at large. Meanwhile, media reports said that the Pakistani authorities had sent the necessary documents to Dubai authorities to facilitate Shahrukh’s arrest. According to Sindh Police Inspector General Fayyaz Leghari, the police were hoping that the Dubai police would arrest Shahrukh and hand him over to them in the next two days.
