KARACHI - A deal has been finalised between the Jatoi and Talpur families and father of Shahzaib Khan, the boy allegedly killed in Karachi DHA Phase-V by Shahrukh Jatoi and Nawab Siraj Talpur and their guards on December 25, Pakistan Today learnt on Sunday.
The boy’s father, Aurangzaib, has reportedly agreed to withdraw the cases for Rs 250 million.
Investigation into the Shahzaib murder case concluded with a deal with Jatois, Talpurs and Aurangzaib, a serving deputy superintendent of Sindh Police.
According to this deal, the Jatoi and Talpur families will pay Rs 250 million to the deceased’s father as compensation money and in exchange Shahzaib’s father would withdraw the case, sources privy to the developments told Pakistan Today.
A high-ranked police officer, who is among the investigators, said on condition of anonymity that Shahzaib’s father had agreed to withdraw the murder case for a sum of Rs 250 million.
The Jatois and Talpurs were under pressure after arrest of Nawab Siraj Talpur, a co-accused in the Shahzaib murder case, from Moro on Saturday.
“The families used their political circle to approach DSP Aurangzaib and made him agree to withdraw the case for the stated money,” official said.
He claimed that a high-ranking officer of Sindh Police played a pivotal role for the deal to save Sindh Inspector General (IG) Fayyaz Ahmed Leghari from any action by the Supreme Court (SC).
“Shahrukh Jatoi, the main accused in Shahzaib murder case, would arrive in Karachi today (Monday) and surrender before the law enforcement agencies,” he claimed, adding that Shahzaib’s father would then withdraw the case.
After the deal, Sindh IGP Fayyaz Leghari has reportedly taken a sigh of relief and left for Islamabad to appear before the three-member SC bench, which took suo motu notice of the murder on January 1 and ordered the Sindh IGP to arrest the culprits within 24 hours.
“A well-known politician played a key role in this deal but I cannot disclose his name,” the source said.
A three-member SC bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry had taken suo motu notice of the murder and ordered Sindh IGP and Advocate General to present a report before the bench on January 4.
On Friday, the chief justice ordered the IGP to arrest the culprits within 24 hours or appear before the court without uniform.
An official in the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration Circle, who wished not to be named, told Pakistan Today that no record of Shahrukh Jatoi having flown aboard was available with the immigration office.
“With this disclosure, it is also confirmed that Shahrukh Jatoi was not hiding in the country,” he said, adding that it could not be ascertained so far where he had gone.
Talking to Pakistan Today, IGP Leghari said he had arrived in Islamabad to appear before the apex court. Asked about the deal, he said, “I am in Islamabad and cannot confirm the information.”
On the other hand, DSP Aurangzaib said he had had no meeting with the Jatoi or Talpur family.
He disconnected the phone when Pakistan Today enquired about the deal.
