Death row inmate Shahrukh Jatoi, convicted in the infamous Shahzeb Khan murder case, is reportedly enjoying lavish perks in Karachi central jail, a private news channel reported on Friday.
The anchor of a show at Dawn News shared a video in which Jatoi was reportedly shown enjoying lavish facilities in his death cell, which is a clear violation of jail rules and procedures. The reported amenities provided to Jatoi in his jail compartment include TV, indoor gaming, air conditioner and other luxury items.
When the channel reportedly contacted IG Prisons Sindh Nusrat Mangan for his comment, he said that since he was not provided with the video beforehand and he has not seen it, so he cannot comment on the authenticity of it.
The IG Prisons said that he will personally look into the matter and “if any irregularities are being committed by jail administration”, he will take action against them.
Jatoi is reportedly enjoying B-category treatment at Karachi jail, despite not being entitled to one.
In the video it is shown that police personnel are deployed at the jail cell where Jatoi is held captive, however, the policemen are providing services to Jatoi rather than keeping an eye on him.
Twenty-year-old Shahzeb Khan was gunned down on the night of December 24, 2012 when he was returning home along with his sister after attending a wedding.
The case had attracted much media attention after the Supreme Court took a suo motu notice of the murder.
