KARACHI: Shahrukh Jatoi, prime suspect in the Shahzeb Khan's murder case, has been detained in the UAE stated Shahzeb's father DSP Aurganzeb Khan, while speaking to Express News on Wednesday.

"Shahrukh Jatoi will be brought back to Pakistan after completion of the required legal procedure," said Khan.

Son of Sikandar Jatoi, an influential person in Sindh, Shahrukh is wanted for his involvement in the gunning down of 20-year-old Shahzeb - over a small argument.

A police team was sent to the UAE after reports of Shahrukh fleeing there surfaced.

Siraj Talpur, the second prime suspect in the case, is currently in police custody and was identified by eyewitnesses today as the person who shot Shahzeb.

Five people were nominated in the FIR lodged in the case. Shahrukh is the fourth to be arrested, while his father is evading police custody and has chosen to appear before the court after being granted one-day protective bail.
