Reading a verse from the slain poet Dr Allah Bux Ansari alias Akash's poetry compilation, Keean Rahan Jalawatan [How do I remain in Exile], perhaps, illustrates his brutal and cold-hearted murder in which none other than his son has been implicated.
The Hyderabad police on Monday charged Shah Latif Ansari, an adopted son of the poet, with the offence of patricide on the night between February 14 and 15.
As the poet said, "my every step is paved with assaults by spiteful persons. Every part of my body carries wounds of knife stabs given by my relations."
"I want to share that unfortunately Ansari's son has turned out to be the killer," Hyderabad's SSP Dr Farrukh Ali Lanjar said while speaking at a press conference on Monday. "He murdered him very brutally with a sharp object and later he escaped from the crime scene."
The SSP disclosed that Ansari was killed several hours before Latif set his dead body ablaze in the bedroom of their residence in Citizen Colony in order to hide evidences.
There were at least 21 marks of light to deep penetrating knife stabs on his body besides multiple fractures on his bone cage, according to the postmortem report which has been issued by Medico Legal Officer Dr Abdul Hameed Mughal. The report revealed that Ansari had died in around 15 minutes after sustaining multiple wounds.
The time of his death is estimated to be 12 to 18 hours before the body was received, through Bhitai Nagar police which had seized the body from the accused en route to Badin for burial, at Liaquat University Hospital on Saturday.
According to the SSP, Latif spent several hours at the residence of an acquaintance after killing his father. He returned and tried to hide evidence of the incident for which he burnt his father's dead body. The autopsy has pointed out the presence of kerosine oil and blood stains on pieces of Ansari's clothes.
