Almost 20 days after disappearing, a police escort brought Shahrukh Jatoi back to the very city where he had allegedly shot and killed young Shahzeb Khan on December 25, 2012.
Express News reported early on Thursday morning that the plane carrying Shahrukh had landed at the Karachi airport.
In police custody, the young Jatoi scion was promptly whisked away from waiting reporters and cameramen to an undisclosed location through the less frequented back roads at Jinnah International Airport.
Last week, the Supreme Court hearing a suo moto case on Shahzeb’s murder, had directed the police to sniff out and arrest Shahrukh Jatoi and bring him before the court of law.
The suspect will be presented before the Supreme court on Thursday.
Shahrukh, who maintains that he is innocent, had turned himself in on Monday after his father, Sikander Jatoi, had been arrested from outside the Supreme court last week. Sikander says he has nothing to do with the murder case.
A three member police party under SSP Niazz Khosa had traveled to the emirati city of Dubai to locate and arrest Shahrukh Jatoi.
Police have already arrested four other suspects believed to be linked to Shahzeb’s murder on December 25, 2012. Among those arrested are prime suspect Siraj Talpur, Mustafa Lashari, Munawwar Talpur, and Sikander Jatoi.

Apart from obstructing justice by lying before the media and the courts (which would be perjury), and aiding and abetting the flight of a person accused of this murder. It is most likely that even the murder weapon is registered in his name. If Sikandar thinks that he has nothing to do with this murder case, he is clearly delusional. But by what we has heard from him over the past 20 days, its not particularly surprising.
great move...the culprits must be punished
if they can bring someone from foreign country to court, i can not believe that we are unable to bring those involved locally in terrorizing our country to the court and justice. (DAL MAY KUCH THO KALA HAY)
Now is the real test, we have seen people captured but let go due to the holes in our system but this will be a test case for Supreme court to make an example for our nation, justice should be served and fast.
straight to hang dont wait
Good to read that the alleged killer is arrested by the Police from Dubai and bought back to Karachi to produce him before the Supreme Court, as it is a high profile case.
But the same Police could not arrest the target killers who are killing innocent people on an average of 10 to 12 people ever day in Karachi. A human being is a human being no matter if he is a poor man or son of a feudal lord.
I am expecting that the alleged killer would not be granted bail and shoul be sent behind the bars so that proper investigations should be completed and truth is unearthed.
Everyone's eyes are focused on this particular case of cold blooded murder of a youth by the progeny of influential, rich, powerful and well connected feudal with the ruling elite. The absconder has been brought back from UAE. Hopefully the supreme court will dispense justice in this murder case and will also punish those who helped Shahrukh Jatoi to leave the country so easily.
Hang him!!!!
How did he clear Karachi airport to board for Dubai, that needs to be investigated
