Shahzeb Khan's murder: Police arrest prime suspect's security guard
The guard was moved to an undisclosed location for further interrogation, however, the police said that a case had not been registered against him yet.
The police added that no weapon was seized from his possession.
Shahzeb was killed allegedly by Shahrukh Jatoi near Mubarak Masjid in DHA on Tuesday night. The killing resulted from a small argument he had with Nawab Siraj Talpur, when the latter’s servant verbally harassed his sister.
Talpur and his friend, Jatoi, allegedly followed Shahzeb and shot him.
Jatoi's uncle has rejected allegations against his nephew.
At a press conference held in Sukkur, Subedar Khan Jatoi, the brother of Sikander Ali Jatoi whose son Shahrukh Jatoi is a key suspect in the case, claimed the allegations against his nephew were false.
He maintained Shahrukh did not know either Shahzeb or Nawab Siraj Talpur, the second suspect in the murder.
According to police sources, the police team sent from Karachi to investigate Shahzeb’s murder raided a house in Dadu following a tipoff regarding the suspects’ whereabouts.
Despite being surrounded, Shahrukh and Talpur managed to evade capture and fled the area.

i think we should not jump to conclusion yet... The strong statements this person saying in the video is just one side of the story. We should hear the other side as well before any conclusion. As the media is spreading the news of one side and other people started to believe that what media is showing.. we should use our brain for an moment. As, I read that victim was going for a morning tea at 4am.. We should look into this as well.. and other things that was happening b4 accusing that he is the killer or another... i do feel for his parents loosing an young son.
This is bad news and secondly government should enforce a check on private security guards and their background instead of just issuing arms license and no check and balance on who will be using it.
I hope this Nawab Siraj jatoi other family members will be from their fathers not from security guards. Accordingly police should be arresting the actual sinners not the security guards.
@Shaami Lahori: Fully agree with you. His death was tragedy and there is no reason to justify that. Probably there is answer to you your querry what is special about this case? if you read commnet immedaitely after you and Mr. jaffery's commnet ater lyou can feel visceral hatred against Sindhies. Many Sindhies have been killed in broad day light including doctors, enineers, civil servants and medical students. No body blamed any body about mediavel fascist thinking, I remember few years back a medical student in DMC was dragged out of library and shot point blank. There was not even an argument. it was reported only inside pages of newspaper once.
I pray that Shahzeb's killer shoould be arrested and punished according to law of land. Shahzeb's life was shortened and no reason on earth can justify that. he would have lived longer other wise, and his parents would have seen their grand children and sisers had their brother. Allah may help his parents and siblings to cope with this loss. Amin.
This was an individual act and please don't demonise all Sindhies or Talpurs or Jatoies as it is counterproductive.
We have a very short memoy, Same happened in the bakery case in Lahore just a month ago where CM daughter and son in law ecsape easily and poor guard has to take the responsibility. Did anybody know what happen next? If CM's attitude is like this how u expect the feudal lord will come fwd and accept that his son has committed crime. This time we should make him an example that life of a common man should not be taken as granted. All thoes who have helped these culprits flee should also be taken to task. Let's show to the world that justice is still available to the common man in Pakistan. By the way in country where security forces are not safe and are being killed like rats people are pinning their hopes on them. Don't know when general kayani and president, CJ and pm will come out of their bunker and share the grievances of the public. In the capital of the province where daily 20 people are being killed Governor is being awarded Nishan-e-Pakistan. Party who is govt ally and enjoing ministeries are calling for a long march, We don't need a comedy film jokers are already their to entertain us.
@JS: You are seriously delusional my friend. What disaster are you talking about? Murdering someone is just about the easiest thing you can do in Karachi. This voice is being raised by his friends and family, not at a government/NGO/political level. These are common people like you and me and just because of that we know this took place. Why are you forgetting hundreds of people who die everyday, their friends and family and you should also do something about it. Now that some people are raising their voice against it, you think it is being created to divert attention. Taking conspiracy theories to a whole new level.
It's not only the murder of innocent Shahzeb Khan but it's the carnage of the innocence and tolerance of the citizens of pakistan by the despicable powers! I hope that C.J will not put this case aside like the previous thousands of cases..we expect justice and we want justice.. May your soul rest in peace brother Shahzeb Khan...!
@ Shaami Lahori and what have you done so far for the people you have mentioned in your post ?
@Sana Balouch: He's not "prime suspect" but "prime suspect's security guard"
@Concerned: I FULLY agree with your comment-the emphasis remains on the word medieval. This still does NOT exempt the authorities to deal with this case expeditiously.
Dear all: It is now or never, if murders of Shahzeb Khan are not brought to justice then no brother would dare to protect his sister. What ever race, cast or religion you belong and what ever language you speak, if you believe its wrong you should raise your voice for the Justice for Shahzeb Khan. I would like to see my Sindhi speaking brothers & sisters to come forward and demand for justice. Let the culprits know we are all one and want rule of law. Long live Pakistan
Another scapegoat as is done in the Interior of Sindh .The crimes are committed by the Waderas and the loyal guards are made to surrender in favor of a few favors to their families .
@Humble Pie: please forward the information you have to the police. Please help in catching the culprits. We all will be thankful to you.
@Humble Pie: Comparing the killers of Bashir Bilour and that of Shahzeb is, well, retarded.
@Faraz:
As if we don't know the killers of Bashir Bilour.
@Shaami Lahori: Its called Repeated Rapid Disaster Therapy and it works brilliantly. Create a new disaster to divert all attention and possibility of resolution from previous disaster(s). Who will remember the 20 people "target killed" three days ago when yesterday 40 people were killed via bad cough syrup, today another 25 are marched off a bus and executed, and tomorrow a mob lynches a "blasphemer" while 3 girls are killed by their brother/father for accidentally revealing their toe nail....
Its a sad state of affairs....These things happen every day in Pak. This case has only been highlighed because the deceased was the son of a police DSP, and thats the only reason the police are active. What have the police done on the murders of scores of ordinary people killed daily in Karachi??
Take the entire families of the two accused in custody. The two will surrender within hours. This is how police deals with the poor. Its time they dealt in the same way with the rich.
@Shaami Lahori: SPOT ON mate. Just couldn't agree more.
@Concerned: Everyone is medieval in Pakistan my friend. The only innocent person in Pakistan is the one who has not been provided with any power to exploit others otherwise we are all same and All of us will act like kings when some power will be bestowed upon us. So dont blame Jatois and Talpurs as the general mindset in Pakistan is the exploitation of power at every level and in every segment of the society and from a Rickshaw driver, Chaabri Wala to the Wadaira all are same in my view and the only difference is the provision of power to be exploited given to them. May be tomorrow i will have the same Influence like Jatois and Talpurs and may be i will act in a more devilish manner than what they are doing right now.
@Shaami Lahori: And this case is different because the killers are known and are free! Also, if you are so concerned then do something about it. Raise YOUR voice for others and not try shut others. Doesn't help being a keyboard warrior. Now people are raising their voice for someone and you are trying to quieten them down. What shame!
God save Pakistan from these medieval Jatois, Talpurs, etc
"Talpur and his friend, Jatoi, allegedly followed Shahzeb and shot him." Now how could Security Guard be a prime suspect??? Pakistan Police in funny.
