Not a hint of remorse: Osman Khalid Butt to Zahir Jaffer

Actor Osman Khalid Butt has reacted to Zahir Jaffer, the main accused in the murder of 27-year-old Noor Mukadam, retracting his statement about murdering and beheading her in July last year. Zahir, in a recent hearing of the case, denied killing Noor, contradicting his earlier confession. 

Taking to Twitter, the actor shared, "After all this time, not a hint of remorse." He went on to share, "Not a hint of shame. I hope you rot in the deepest pits of hell, Zahir."

Earlier, in his reply to a questionnaire submitted through his counsel Usman Gul under section 342 of the criminal code, Zahir had pleaded to be allowed to present evidence before the court in his defence.

“When the party started, all friends including me and the victim (Noor) used drugs,” Zahir said, adding that he fell conscious due to excessive use of drugs and hours later, when he regained his consciousness, he found himself locked in his lounge. The main accused said that he was rescued by uniform-wearing police personnel and persons in civilian clothes after hours.

In his reply, Zahir Jaffer further said that he had a long association with Noor Mukadam and their families also knew each other. "Noor Mukadam and I had a living relationship," he said adding that he had not been in contact with her for six months before she visited his home on July 18, 2021.

“Noor Mukadam came to my house on July 18 with drugs and told me to have a drug party, which I refused. She also invited a few of her friends who showed up and attended the drug party at my home. I had a flight to the United States on July 19. I left home for the airport that day. Noor Mukadaam had pleaded that I should cancel my flight as she also wanted to go to America with me,” the main accused said, adding that for this purpose, she had also contacted various friends to collect ticket money.

“My parents and I are being named in this case only because this unfortunate incident happened at my house,” he said, adding that the DNA test turned up positive because “we were both in a consensual physical relationship”.
