KARACHI:
Shahrukh Jatoi, prime suspect in the murder of Shahzeb Khan, is likely to be in Karachi police custody within 10 days, as his visa is due to expire on January 21, The Express Tribune learned on Friday.
A police team comprising DIG Finance Dost Ali Baloch and SSP Niaz Khosa had left for Dubai after the anti-terrorism court issued an arrest warrant for Shahrukh on Monday, where they met with Interpol officials and UAE authorities including Dubai police.
A search notice to stop Shahrukh Jatoi’s possible escape to another country from Dubai without the permission of Pakistani government or law enforcement has already been issued by Interpol.
On Friday, Karachi police officials who were in Dubai returned home after completing necessary legal procedures. “We have returned as the task of ensuring Shahrukh’s arrest by involving the UAE authorities and Interpol was achieved,” a senior officer privy to the matter told The Express Tribune. “It is likely that we might go again to receive him but that will be the UAE authorities’ call.”
“Shahrukh Jatoi will have to face deportation anyway following the expiry of his visa on January 21,” said the senior official.

this is a load of crap. if this jatoi dude was a US citizen wanted for murder in the US, he would be put on a plane with US Marshalls on the next flight back to the US to stand trial and face justice. Only in Pakistan, where the justice system is a joke, can the rich get away with murder.
@Sidrah: @Majid Urrehman: " By touch doing the border of another country"
What exactly does that mean?
@H. Khan: A correction if you don't mind. The population is 7.8 million NOT 78 million
He has many passports courtesy his dad!!
People saying he can extend his visa need to know that his passports have been canceled, if this news is true, too(?) (in this case he should have been deported by now, anyway?!). Deporting him should be the only option but I am really confused if his passport has been cancelled then he should have been deported by now!
Nobody escapes UAE.. this issue here is on legal paperwork. Dubai police will already have placed Police mobiles and CID outside House where he is detained. He aint going anywhere.
he will reach AUS and their soon may never come. it is very important to arrest him quickly.
@Jyoti Yes he will be tried as a juvenile. That is if he is tried at all and does not put theb lame on one of his servants.
@H. Khan: 7.8 million NOT 78 million.
visit visa in Dubai cannot be renewed without exiting the country and remaining out of it's borders for 30 days. So what these policemen are saying seems logical to me.
His passport(s) has been cancelled by Pakistan Gov. due to which his visa renewal will not be a free ride anymore.
May Shezad's soul RIP . . . .
Since Shahrukh is 16 . .. . would he be tried as a Juvenile?
This will be big change in History of Pak when one person of Sindhi Landlord get punishment for its wrong dore.
Long LIve Chief justice. You start to change the country
It is crap. Expiring visit visa of UAE is not a problem. It can been extended for upto 3 months and then again you don't need to leave Dubai. By touch doing the border of another country, you can get a permanent visa. Whom our govt is kidding? By looking at the idiotic response of these police officers It looks like they did not go there to arrest him but to see if Shahrukh Jatoi is safe or not.UAE govt. has not yet so powerful to deny Pakistan arrest request. (Remember what happened to Geo in Dubai media park?)
Capture this murderer and bring him to justice ASAP.
The government isn't doing much and this is a joke. Murderers who are on ECL escape without any problems, 80+ people died yesterday and not a word about it from the President and Prime Minister. Did we elect these people just to go on foreign trips and make daily usage stuff more expensive every month.??
Does anybody in this country do their job at all?
Good Show! Arrest & punish the MONSTER.
This has been going on for far too long.. Catch the little rat already.. Close this case. Look what has happened in Quetta.. Does that not deserve this much media coverage. Yes, in this case we know the killers, so catch these dirty fuedals so others will be deterred in future.
Please don't put him in jail. Instead HANG HIM TO DEATH. Wadera ka beta? My foot.
Let us see what happens. Hang the killers who shot Shahzeb Khan several times in cold blood. Chief Justice, Sir, the citizens are confident you will pursue this case now even more forcefully. 'Justice delayed, is justice denied.' Salams to Supreme Court and Pakistan for 2013
Total population of UAE is about 78 Million and they have thousands of security cameras all over the country.Locating an d arresting him for efficient UAE police will be no problem
Dubai is becoming a Haven for the lawless i will think twice before I travel there The Sheikh of Dubai needs to take prompt action
ok ET just for your info, he can extend his UAE visit visa for one month.
