An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Wednesday issued show-cause notices to the medical superintendent of the Civil Hospital and a police surgeon in Shahzeb Khan murder case.
During the hearing, the court ordered police to submit challan before February 10, saying the police surgeon who identified the age of Shahrukh Jatoi, the prime accused in the case, was not eligible to do so as the task was assigned to the Civil Hospital.
The court also ordered the Sindh inspector general police to provide security to witnesses.
The hearing was adjourned till February 10.
Meanwhile, father of Shahzeb Khan, murdered in the city’s posh area during last year in December, wondered as to how Shahrukh Jatoi could have an identity card if he was an underage boy.
Talking to media persons before going to the special ATC, Shahzeb’s father Aurangzeb said he would demand the court that a new medical board should be constituted to ascertain the age of Shahrukh Jatoi.
Shahzeb’s father said: “Seeing that Shahrukh is an underage boy, how could he have an identity card?”
“I am being extremely pressured for reconciliation to spare Shahrukh Jatoi; however, I will not flinch an inch back from the acquisition of justice,” he asserted.
