An investigation into a new case registered under the Passport Act against Shahrukh Jatoi – the prime suspect in Shahzeb Khan’s murder – has revealed that he managed to leave the country illegally with the help of a travel agent and an airline data operator.
The revelations were made by an official of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) anti-human trafficking circle before a judicial magistrate on Tuesday. Abdul Shakoor Kalhoro, a judicial magistrate in Malir district, allowed Saeed Ahmed Memon, an investigation officer of the anti-human trafficking circle, to interrogate Jatoi for an additional day in a juvenile jail and remanded the data operator and travel agent in to police custody for four days.
Law enforcement personnel arrested Sohail Ahmed, an agent associated with Fazale Rabbi Travels, and Muhammad Taha Hussain, a data operator at Emirates airlines, for allegedly helping Shahrukh escape the country.
Memon told the court it was revealed during investigations that Jatoi travelled with a boarding pass bearing the name of one Muhammad Ali with the help of Ahmed and Hussain. He requested the court to allow him to interrogate the suspect for one more day as the two accused had been arrested in the case.
The new case was lodged against Jatoi at the FIA police station.

good FIA and arrest his travel agents honour and cancell his travel agency license because he is killer helper
Excellent news!
The sooner justice is done.................the better.
a true case of " catch me if you can... "
Arresting low level officers or travel agents etc is not enough. I am sure someone higher had ordered the low level staff to ensure his escape. Please conduct an extensive inquiry into his escape so that this doesn't happen in the future.
Hang these MONSTERS! I am so happy.
good, wish all those involved should be punished to set an example.....
Just one word; "GUILTY"! Now Justice must prevail & ensure that he spends his life behind bars / in Jail for the crime he has committed.
Well done. I am sure the FIA that runs airport immigration know exactly all the people who participated in Jatoi's escape. They have not yet arrested the staff at Karachi airport on duty when this happened. FIA check and recheck my passport at least twice whether I am departing or arriving. How come they could not figure out from Jatoi's fingerprint ID check that his documents were fake. ID recongition is their duty. Only a 17 year old has the brain to pull this off.
