DUBAI: Dubai police denied on Tuesday reports alleging that Shahrukh Jatoi, one of the prime suspects in Shahzeb Khan’s murder, has been arrested in the emirates, Gulf News reported.

Jatoi was not arrested in Dubai on Monday, despite claims by some Pakistani media outlets, said an official from the Dubai police.

The Sindh police, acting on orders from the Supreme Court, had contacted Interpol and sent two of its high-ranking officials to arrest Jatoi and bring him back to Pakistan for trial.

Talpur in custody

Nawab Siraj Talpur, another one of the prime suspects, has been remanded into police custody for 10 days.

On Monday, Anti-Terrorism Court-III judge Ghulam Mustafa Memon granted the physical remand of Siraj, 22, his 21-year-old brother, Nawab Sajjad Talpur, and their 23-year-old cook, Ghulam Murtaza Lashari, until January 16.

If Dubai Police too fails to arrest the killers, then it can be concluded that Dubai is becoming a safe-heaven for criminals around the world.
