Rangers shooting: Mother blames Rehman Malik

Mother of deceased 19-year-old shot by Rangers blames the interior minister for her son’s brutal murder.

Ahmed Jung June 09, 2011

KARACHI: The mother of the youth shot dead by Rangers personnel said on Thursday that she holds Interior Minister Rehman Malik responsible for the killing of her son.

Manzoor Fatima, mother of deceased 19-year-old Sarfaraz Shah, said that she blamed the interior minister for her son’s brutal murder.

“Who has allowed the Rangers to open fire on citizens? Rehman Malik has given the shoot at sight order,” she said. She also urged the Supreme Court to take notice of the incident.

Malik said on Thursday that it should not be forgotten that the boy was a criminal. He added that Shah was trying to rob two women before the incident took place.

Shah’s family is from Bagh in Azad Kashmir. According to his mother, he had recently taken his matric exams and had hoped to pursue computer science. He was the fourth child, and has four brothers.

His friends and relatives claim that Shah had never stolen from anyone to their knowledge. They also said that if he needed money, Shah would have asked his family.

Shah was shot at point blank range in a public park in an incident filmed live and broadcast on television on Wednesday. Footage of the incident, filmed by an Awaaz TV cameraman, was broadcast repeatedly on local television stations.

In it, a Rangers official can be seen dragging the boy, then throwing him towards half a dozen armed comrades, one of whom then shot the 19-year-old twice at point-blank range as he begged for his life.

The five Rangers were subsequently arrested and taken to the Rangers headquarters and Jinnah Court in Karachi.

Cameraman receives threats

The Awaaz TV cameraman who videotaped the incident has received threats from unknown persons after footage of the incident was aired on Wednesday. Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon said those calls would be traced and the cameraman would be given adequate protection.

Earlier, a case had been filed at the Boat Basin police station by Afsar Khan against Shah for attempted robbery. The complainant claimed that Sarfraz attempted to rob him and his family.

Town Police Officer Tariq Dharajo has said that the case registered against Shah is void as the accused is dead.

Sameer Usmani | 13 years ago | Reply I've been reading the comments, some people say he was a culprit and was rightly taken down, and some say he was innocent. I don't know what he was ! But ! i know 1 thing for sure, if we have to stand up against these criminals, these poor chaps shouldn't be the one punished first, the first cold blooded death, burst of rifle at point blank range should be fired on the heads of the people patronizing it. The people advocating the notion that at least one criminal was eliminated should then stand up, go to the well known BIG people who are sparred by nobody, no police/rangers/army is ever able to tackle them. Justice starts from the top, the biggest one should be brought to justice first, these poor people are only the branches, the roots are secure. P.S. I didn't wanted to mention this, but this page is mostly visited by people who call themselves modern and moderate, and who oppose Islamic sentences like Benazir Bhutto who probably called the amputation of hands a cruel punishment. Its a clear shift for those people when they regard Islamic laws as cruel and if a similar thing happens to them, they want to kill the damn culprit !

Khurram Shoaib | 13 years ago | Reply @Umair Waheed Sheikh, Khayban e Hafiz,IBA Karachi: Are you serious??Please tell me its a joke, a really bad one but still way better than this comment! This could have happened to any of us or our loved ones without any rhyme or reason, and later on people would have made a story out of it that we were criminals. Even if he was a criminal, no religion and no culture in this world allows this sort of behavior. We all do say such things in aggression to the times we lost our cell phones, but my friend it doesn't mean killing of a human like this is justified. Our justice system is below the mark agreed, but then again, its not your decision to pass a verdict who should be killed and who should be spared. For you it might be okay to kill someone for petty crimes like this one, for someone else it would be okay to kill someone on an even smaller issue like breaking a traffic signal, and trust me I am not exaggerating.

Rabi | 13 years ago | Reply I watched the video today and I believe this is extremely painful for anyone to watch this terrible video clip. I am sure no one has any right to kill anyone that brutally, even if they are criminals. I remember the incident of Sailkut's brothers who was brutally killed by a gang in front of police and 100's of people.Later those Hafiz-e-Quran brothers was called criminals. NO one has the right to kill someone and then called them criminals . Whenever I come across this sort of news my heart is full of pain and sorrow that why? Do we have any answer what we are doing and why this is happening every day in Pakistan. I as a Pakistani who is not proud today after watching this video will condemn this incident and believe that the Rangers who killed that innocent child will get punishment soon and also pray that Allah give patience to Sarfraz's poor mother. Ameen

Proud Pakhtoon | 13 years ago | Reply @Asghar Baloch: I agree with you 100% brother. I am having a hard time understanding this pattern of public response. When news like these are broadcasted on TV or YouTube, we react so quickly and severely but turn a deaf ear when hundreds of innocent people get killed in the tribal areas. Until we become a ONE nation, we can never be united and will never feel the agony one feels in any part of the country.

Maaz | 13 years ago | Reply @ali: the rangers were not having any personal grudge on him even no one of them knew him. If same kind of things happen to your family by this kind of criminals then you will know.

Maaz | 13 years ago | Reply Shame on media and people who are calling this criminal innocent, Yes these people are innocent who carry gun and rob people in the park, on the road and streets on signals and enter into offices and homes forcefully and deprive of real innocent citizens of their money and do what ever they want, even they kill also if some one resists. I wish and pray same thing happen to TV anchors and with those who are siding with criminals and make them innocent in a second. He was caught red handed with GUN while he was keeping a family at gun poit and looting them. why he said Mai Majboor tha. ?? it shows he confessed of committing crime. I also see his mother saying he went for work where as his brother says he was looking for job.? Rangers did a great job to discourage criminals , they will think twice before committing any crime but as media is making criminals heroes now all criminals must be celebrating new freedom. No one can do anything to them and our court system will always release them honorably. Now you will see how the crime rate will rise...Long live criminals and now joint venture with media anchors. I salute rangers they are always there when situation is worst. I pray for the brave man who hit his hand .. in Islam also.. cut the hand of thieves.

Uza Syed | 13 years ago | Reply @Saad Ahmed: His mother and family should have seen to him that they were not raising a criminal, it's too late to cry now. I'm sorry I'm not going to mourn demise of a criminal ---- One less the better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ali | 13 years ago | Reply its all bakwas i would like to c those women who he try to rob :@ all jhoot sharam nai ate in ko i m done with words literally... i m so annoyed and there is no one who we look up for help except Allah... Justice will be done Inshallah...

Mehnaz | 13 years ago | Reply @Anwar: Agreed

Mehnaz | 13 years ago | Reply @Saad Ahmed: Dear Saad: Yes, I have been robbed twice at gun point! Even my family members & friends have been robbed multiple times. But it is no reason to shoot someone...theft DOES NOT equate murder! Secondly, I am literally too disgusted just reading the news, I have no heart to watch it on television. It is a matter of a paid "Chowkidaar" taking matters into his own hands & deciding to dole justice on an unarmed person.

IRINA | 13 years ago | Reply ...if police kill the boy in a public areea in the light ov the day..then no safety in that country.i didnt sleep all night...i see the boy face imploring to let him in peace...police pley with gun...they break him with bulet and break milion ov peoples heart...i hope the criminal will get the bigest penishment,i prey ALLAH will help this family boy to find power to realize something in the name ov the boy that die...so no other young person will die from police hands or political orders or peoples with no soul.rest in peace young boy...hope your life louzz will safe other..at least this.

Waqas Rana | 13 years ago | Reply what i think i that we should not blam whole insitutation. What we should do is that we treat those uniform person in the same way as they did to that boy.

Anwar | 13 years ago | Reply This boy was not killed by a single out of control official. Rather the murder was committed by consent of the whole group of rangers. Justice demands that the rangers should be disbanded. There is no difference between them and Israeli militias who indulge in similar actions.

Disco Molvi | 13 years ago | Reply @Andy: Putting forth your very own question to you, when the religious leaders can consider it their duty to come out to protest against Drone attack, for Aafia Siddiqui and against killing of OBL, what stops them from coming out to cry justice for this young man? Simple, because they only consider to come out in protest when an outsider (read USA, India, Israel) is involved.

Uza Syed | 13 years ago | Reply It's alright to stand behind a victim and raise your voice for justice but stand up for criminals?! C'mon! What have the ordinary citizens of Pakistan done that no one condemns the thugs out there who terrorize us day in day out. Ask a victim of such street crimes how helpless s/he feels when just lost his valuables at a gunpoint by likes of this "innocent" Shah. Perhaps Sarfaraz Shah did not have a criminal record ---- but most of 'such characters' do not (alas, they do not leave their names and address with the victims of their crimes!). What a paradox ---- the "nation" has unanimously condemned the law enforcing agencies en masse and now unitedly stands behind the criminals who terrorize the ordinary citizens with impunity every day ---- and night ----- in the streets of Pakistan by snatching their purses, cell phones, wallets and whatever valuables at gun point leaving their preys in shock and awe often physically brutalized. At least now a 'united people', never mind the cause! Yes, law enforcers brutalities can not be condoned and must be condemned, but making a criminal a hero?! I'm certain all the muggers and looters in Pakistan must be quite proud of our national sense of right and wrong. Look a society learns to respect law either because it cares about the rights of fellow citizens or fears the law and its enforcement. Since, most of us don't give a damn about our fellow citizens; the only only other option is to let the state enforce a fear of law (and God) through display of State's right and monopoly over violence.

Ihk | 13 years ago | Reply @Saad Ahmed: You are being a bit too crude, Sir. Extra judicial killings are plain murders. Even in countires with strong judiciary, murderers are given a chance to represent their case. If we start taking things in our own hands the result will be quite similar to the Sialkot lynching.

Why | 13 years ago | Reply Pakistani government thinks they own the world. What you guys have 2 atomic bombs and consider yourselves indestructible. Can't even control the armed forces. By far one of the most inhumane acts I've seen on camera. I believe it's time for a new government. Barack needs to get I. There and tear Pakistani government a new one.

Ali Naqvi | 13 years ago | Reply After reading comments from people who favor this brutal killing, it is true that we have become so insensitive to such incidents. Criminal or no criminal it was a cold blooded murder of a youth. Where is justice system in this Godforsaken country. Is it Wild West that you take law in your own hands and take a human like that and to add insult to injury a minister says "he stole", so kill him like that on the streets without a trial. Has any one seen poverty in our country, people who live below powerty line and have no means to earn and it is the responsibility of those leaders who fill their own pockets and leave without even trying to improve life of an ordinary citizen. Alas! sad part is that this incident will also get buried without changing any one.

Saad Ahmed | 13 years ago | Reply @Mehnaz: For no reason??? have anyone robbed you, have anyone steal a phone or something from you yet .. I dont think it has happened with you madam, otherwise you wont have said being shot for no reason. Come'on I have been saying this thing for quite sometime that the only way we can finish crime from this country is to deal with these criminals in the same manner as the Rangers have done in this case. Daily in newspaper we read that someone has been shot by these criminals but you never feel sorry nor right nanyhing in their console, but here because a footage of that incident has been aired your sympathy has been shifted towards that criminal ... wow thats amazing, just because of people lke you these criminals are are living freely and doing whatever they want.

Shahryar | 13 years ago | Reply i agree with the point that what happened was grose. No one has the authority to kill anyone. But have we ever thought about those robbers who snatch mobile phones and kill innocent citizens on resistance............ What would have been done if he was arrested..... Nothing. For me he was just another robber trying to rob innocent citizens and killed when caught.

adnanbinraza@hotmail.com | 13 years ago | Reply dont believe on media guys.this media showed us incident of sialkot and told us that two boys killed by mob were innocent.but later on it proved that two brothers were letahal gangsters who had killed 3 people earlier including 7 year old child

Alias | 13 years ago | Reply This is murder. No excuses. This case is plain murder by the institution that is supposedly there to protect the people of this nation. Wearing a uniform does not convert the act of murder to anything else. Shame on us all.

Mehnaz | 13 years ago | Reply I'm too disgusted by the heading that I don't even want to read details!!!! In a country obsessed by religion & vigilante justice, it only seems fit that the ranger who shot this 19 year old for no reason shoud meet the same end!! Seriously, I am a mother of a 17 year old & cannot even contemplate the thought of God-forbid any harm to him. Who can console this mother??? This is brutal murder! I say give the "eye for an eye" justice here, just to set a precedence that it is not only the weak that have to face unfair punishment. I really pray for the youth of my country!!!!

Achajee | 13 years ago | Reply @Khurram. Please know - Retarded, irresponsible murderous acts like these is begging for the Army to take over and protect it's citizens. Every time Paki democracy is given a chance . . .it proves to be irresponsible, deadly and sucidal for the Nation. The proof is in the pudding. Paki democracy creates chaos, insecurity and unstability for it's citizens. The country was not ready for democracy in the first place. It has too many wicked enemies that flourish during Paki democracy and are cultivating terrorism.This has proved to be very costly for the Nation as a whole. Pakistan needs security first and only the Arm forces can provide this to this young struggling country and its citizens.The Arm forces follow the code of ethics, at least more than any institution with integrity and loyalty in serving Pakistan and they have always done a much better job. And thats the simple fact- like it or not! Its upto Pakistan to produce loyal, honest, patriotic and respnosible democratic leaders . . . until then the Arm forces is most WELCOME!!

Asghar Baloch | 13 years ago | Reply This is happenig every day every where in Paksitan. the only difference is that Cameramen are not available in Tribal areas and Balohistan to record the inhuman brutality of state killers where the predators are killing poeple ruthlessly and dead bodies are being thrown away.shame on our collective conscious.

Sameer Usmani | 13 years ago | Reply I am sure even after seeing the video, some of our 'intellectuals' will justify this barbaric and heinous act. The video of this accident implies that in all such cases, in which the police claim to encounter robbers/bandits/terrorists, the real scenario is entirely different, and in fact, the law enforcing agencies are the real culprits along with the BIG PEOPLE backing them ! P.S. When a middle class, ordinary man's car which he bought from his hard earned money is ravaged and/or burned, when people are kidnapped, when people are robbed, when shops are looted, these rangers and police personnel claim they aren't allowed to shoot and/or they are unable to do their job. When the children of influential people do crimes they don't confront them, when they roam around in cars with tinted glass, the police wala's can't stop them ! Funny eh ?

American pakistani | 13 years ago | Reply This is murder. Have any of you seen the video on youtube?? I was simply disgusted. The ranger who shot the boy should be given the death penalty. The others standing by should also be held responsible for not intervening or even calling for help when the boy was bleeding to death. Even if he was a criminal, he was not posing a danger to any of the rangers that lethal force was needed to subdue him. Rehman Malik is crazy for not condemning this and instead stating that the actions were justifiable because he was a petty thief. These are times when i feel sorry to be pakistani..

Carlos Guajardo | 13 years ago | Reply In the US, in France, Japan... and Pakistan too: it is called murder.

Faction | 13 years ago | Reply Apparently, shortly before thnincident the victim mentioned that pakistan's blasphemy law was a "black" law, so you should all be throwing rose petals at the ranger's feet when he shows up for his arraignment.

zack | 13 years ago | Reply It is because we can't do anything. How can you face a greedy powerful and uniformed terrorist?

Andy | 13 years ago | Reply @Disco Molvi: How does this become the duty of relegious leaders to protest? Every citizen need to go out and protest, not because the young guy who was killed was innocent (until proved by court), but for agencies who are there to protect people are in fact killing innocent people. Why has not a single person establishment resigned over this incident? This shows the true faces of our so-called democratically elected representative...Like maryam said "Our only way out of this insecurity and unharmony is to change the system… Uproot this system of so called democracy and bring the divine system that our Lord has bestowed on us..

Bilafond | 13 years ago | Reply If we keep allowing our judicial process to take months and people keep getting away nothing will happen so sit and watch. Did we have conviction on Sialkot Incident? when did it take place? Please continue making noise and wait for another bank robbery, another kidnapping and another killing like this one. OTHERWISE keep shut and suffer, because we have a short memory and this will also go into media archives and all will be forgotten. All channels need is to have "EXCLUSIVE" flashed and wait for another exclusive.

kulamarva balakrishna | 13 years ago | Reply Vienna,09-06-2011 Some one wrote to me in a similar context Sialkot cricketer siblings lynched by mob with law enforcement agency participation was concluded:Rule of law was now back supremein Pakistan! I find it all strange internally for Pakistan.As for outsiders, they are expected to provide actionable intelligence within Pakistan´s sovereign territory.That is what led the U.S. navy SEALs to collect the body of Osama Bin Laden and dump it in the Arabian Sea. -Kulamarva Balakrishna

Das | 13 years ago | Reply being a citizen of Pakistani, all the responsible person which have an power of doing for something and want to do justice then within 24 hours hang to death all the personnel who are involve in the brutal murder of Pakistani citizen. President of Pakistan and Chief Justice of Pakistan are responsible to take action and to justice without any delay. All Pakistani head the under the depth of ocean by the action of the Rangers of Pakistan.

Hassan | 13 years ago | Reply Clearly this article reports less on the facts and more on the emotions that led to killing and emotions after.

insaan | 13 years ago | Reply dear human being, the pakistani society became hub of terrorism. killing innocent people became routine. murder of Sarfraz in Karachi by the security forces was a brutal act of state terorims. it can ot be foregiveable. armed personnel should be hanged in front of people.

peace of mind meditation | 13 years ago | Reply how can you sleep by doing such is whatever your god or your parents taught you this atleast be a human

zack | 13 years ago | Reply So sad, the main problem of this country is no other then its own corrupt and greedy leaders and corrupt criminal mind law enforcement agencies under the hood of the criminal and corrupt govt. Citizens have no rights, no one listens to them. A group of rich corrupt people has kidnapped this contry. Like all other official crimes, this will also fade down slowly- May God help poor citizens of this country. Even if Sarfaraz Shah was a criminal, they don;t have any right to kill him. If there is a law, then court should decide and punish him. These rahgers job is to arrest him and take him to jail (In ideal situation). Which is not possible ....... I hope some one will punish these cold blodded murderers.

maryam | 13 years ago | Reply it is indeed a very shameful act... But commenting on it or criticising it wont make such a difference... The system of this country has shattered into pieces due to political instability... Our only way out of this insecurity and unharmony is to change the system... Uproot this system of so called democracy and bring the divine system that our Lord has bestowed on us..

Disco Molvi | 13 years ago | Reply Where are the religious parties on this? No rallies? No denouncement? No sympathy? I guess if the attackers were Israelis or American or Indian, than it would've been worth it for them to get off their slumber and cry justice. A Muslim killing a Muslim is no big deal right?.

Asad | 13 years ago | Reply Agreed that he was a criminal... but he begged them to take him to a hospital after he was shot twice... shame on all those present at the scene, including the camera man, for enjoying the show and leaving the 'criminal' bleed to death

optimist | 13 years ago | Reply We don't change and don't want to change. We are sadistic and we will feel the 'thrill' over this sad incident, like we 'enjoyed' Sialkot brutal murders!

Saim Baig | 13 years ago | Reply Very sad indeed, but we must not forget criminals do exactly the same when they rob from people & sadly no voice is ever raised against them. The boy didn't deserved death, he could have learn his lesson in any other way, but this is very sad.

Akbar Khan | 13 years ago | Reply things like this make me sick and ashamed to call myself Pakistani. You don't just go around shooting people due to mere suspicion, the rangers are supposed to be there for our protection not for causing us harm - disgusting behaviour

Roshan | 13 years ago | Reply Very sad and shameful period for Pakistan. The so called fake democracy has taken away freedom and safety of common citizens. It has not served it's people.

Shame om the law enforcement agencies for killing innocent people of Pakistan n sparing the real criminals, the blood of the youth is so cheap that it can be wasted anytime, no wonder this country is cursed.

RhyMe | 13 years ago | Reply terrible!....shame on the so called saviours and protectors of awam!

Natasha Suleman | 13 years ago | Reply Even if Shah was a criminal, it was a cold blooded murder the forces are accountable for. Shoot an unarmed citizen and leave him to die is not what they are there for. Im sure whatever he robbed from the women (IF he ever did that) was not more precious than the blood of this kid who lives in a country plagued with millions of problems. It was an extra-judicial murder and nothing can change the fact. I would love to know how many target killers and criminals harboured by the political outfits in Karachi have been shot under the 'shoot at sight' order.
