The Sindh High Court (SHC) ruled on Saturday to remove Sikander Jatoi’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL).
Sikander Jatoi is the father of Shahrukh Jatoi, who was accused of murdering Shahzeb Khan. Under the Anti-terrorism Act, Shahrukh was sentenced to death but was later pardoned by the victim’s family.
Following the murder, Shahrukh fled to Dubai and his father was arrested and his name was put under the ECL.
Now that Shahrukh is not convicted of murder, Sikander, through the counsel of his lawyers requested the SHC to remove his name from the list.
Shahzeb Khan, 20, was gunned down on the night of December 24, 2012. Shahzeb, son of DSP Aurangzeb Khan, was reportedly murdered after he had an altercation with one of the suspects’ servant who had allegedly misbehaved with the victim’s sister.
