A letter faxed to Karachi jail requesting fresh death warrants for convicted target killer Saulat Mirza was turned down on Monday by an anti-terrorism court.

The court upheld the request and said that it has to be given in person rather than being faxed.

Mirza’s execution was stayed on March 19 after he made startling revelations about Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain’s alleged involvement in the murder of Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC)’s managing director.

On March 30, Mirza’s execution was stayed for a further 30 days.

According to official sources, there was no specific reason cited in the orders that why the execution was further delayed.
