Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan and Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah have given the Sindh police chief a five-day deadline to arrest the accused involved in the murder of Shazeb Khan.
Police have failed to arrest any of the accused nominated in the murder of Shahzeb, who was shot dead near his home in Defence last week. A popular student and son of DSP Aurangzaib, Shahzeb’s murder created an uproar in civil society. The CM and the governor felt the police have not been efficient enough to apprehend the accused Shahrukh Jatoi and Siraj Talpur, who are the sons of influential people.
IG Police Sindh, Fiyyaz Leghari, has set up a five-member committee comprising high ranking police officials and directed them to immediately arrest the men. The committee is headed by DIG South Shahid Hayat. The committee has also been directed to take help from other law enforcing agencies, including FIA.

@momin:
in my opinion the Interpol will arrest him
This has been the first time that the people of Pakistan have taken keen interest in knowing and following the complete tragic story that took place in Karachi how ever after CJs Suo motto action of this case the hopes of the people have raised up and we all believe now that Justice will be served! We are standing with those who lost their love one!
Justice will be expedited for the rich son of the powerful DSP. Even CJ's conscience wakes up for him. Anything for the poor people of Pakistan, who are slaughtered on a daily basis like carrots, and the killers walk away freely out of the courts.
The accused's family owns the Awaz TV channel. Everyone should boycott that channel, and make their sponsors stop supporting the channel as a matter of principle. These feudals must be made to realize that they don't own the damn country.
Great surprise, culprit fled away from Pakistan and Sindh Police inquiring from Australian interior ministry whether the Shahrukh Jatoi landed in Australia or not. Don't we have record in our system? We want to see murderer hang till death, and CJ should set an example of Justice. This can be a real beginning of new Pakistan. Respected CJ sahib, please do not stop follow up of this case, and provide justice to this deprive nation.
Better late than never. CJ thank you from the youth of Pakistan.
Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan and Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah .
Where were you both sleeping earlier ? as now after the murderers had fled & left the country you NOW want an investigation ?
I hope they arrest and hang the murderer. About time Pakistanis rose up to the status of civilized nations and told the corrupt elite that 'NO, your kids can't be spoiled brats and kill other kids'. Hang this murderer and show the corrupt elite that money doesn't give you the license to kill any innocent.
