Shahzeb Khan murder: Siraj Talpur's brother nominated in case

Sajjad, Siraj's brother is in police custody along with him.

KARACHI: As the Shahzeb Khan case continues to unfold with police trying to nab the perpetrators after the Supreme Court’s orders, another suspect was also nominated in the case on Sunday, Express News reported.

This time, the person nominated was Sajjad Talpur, whose brother Siraj was apprehended a day earlier from interior Sindh.

Both the brothers are in police custody now, while the alleged shooter, Shahrukh Jatoi is still at large.

Earlier believed to have fled the country, Shahrukh Jatoi, is still in Pakistan, Express News quoted Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) sources as saying.

Jatoi, the prime suspect in Shahzeb Khan’s murder had, according to earlier reports, fled to the UAE on December 27.

Jatoi is wanted for allegedly gunning down 20-year-old Shahzeb over a small argument.

The Supreme Court took suo motu notice of the case after the news spread that influential people were creating hurdles in their arrest.

In its first hearing, the police were ordered to arrest the suspects within 24 hours or risk losing their jobs.
