Sindh Cheif Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah Saturday (today) said that the Sindh government will grant Rs 10 million to the deceased Amjad Sabri’s family.
While addressing the Sindh assembly session he also announced that the government will bear educational expenses for Sabri’s children.
Shah also told the Sindh Assembly speaker that authorities have received some ‘leaks’ in Sabri’s murder case, following which a committee has been formed to investigate the matter.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced Rs10 million in financial support to the family of the late qawwal.
Meanwhile, the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on Saturday arrested a suspect in connection with the murder of Amjad Sabri in a pre-dawn raid, three days after the famous qawwal was gunned down in broad day light.
The suspect was taken into custody in a raid carried out in Surjani Town area and shifted to an undisclosed location for interrogation.
The CTD claimed the suspect is affiliated with a political party and has made “significant revelation” about the murder of Amjad Sabri.
The anti-terror officials involved in the investigation declined to disclose the name of the suspect and the political party he was affiliated with.
Sabri was travelling with an associate when two gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on his car on Wednesday. He was shot multiple times and pronounced dead by medics at a hospital where he was taken after the attack.
More politics than sincere donation and it may add to the vows of the family. A far more senior artist, Shahanshai Ghazal, Mehdi Hassan was awarded a cheque for half a million rupees, which was on the spot whisked by the workers of an ethnic party. Even if the situation has changed a lot, nothing can be predicted. All the thieves are ahead of the Police.
