KARACHI:
Shahrukh Jatoi, prime suspect in the Shahzeb Khan murder case, was shifted to Services Hospital Karachi on Wednesday for another medical examination, reported Express News.
Shahrukh’s medical examination has been done under scrutiny of police personnel and and a carefully chosen doctors’ team.
An anti-terrorism court had earlier directed the medical superintendent of Services Hospital to constitute a medical board to conduct Shahrukh’s ossification test on January 17.
The previous medical report was rejected as police surgeon Dr Jalil Qadir was not eligible to pronounce Shahrukh as a minor between the age of 17 and 18. Dr Qadri was then presented a show-cause notice and he fled the scene thereafter.
It was then announced that Professor Junaid Ashraf, Principal of Dow medical College, will head the board. Medical examination that took place today was headed by Dr Farhat Mirza and the six-member board included Dr Tariq, Dr Taqqi, Dr Saba, Dr Muzaffar and Dr Hamid Ali Paryal.
Inspection of hair and teeth has been done to determine Shahrukh’s ‘much-debated’ age. A large number of police personnel were present throughout the procedure.
After the medical examination, Dr Muhammed Taufeeq spoke to media and said Shahrukh underwent six X-rays; he was escorted back to jail after the examination.
The medical board will again sit on Saturday at 10:30 am. The investigation officer is required to submit documents, bone tests and Shahrukh’s physical report to the medical board on Saturday.
Shahrukh will not be required to attend this meeting.
Shahzeb, the young son of a police officer, was shot dead in the upscale Defence neighbourhood of Karachi on December 25 over a petty dispute.
Prime suspect Shahrukh, who had slipped away from the country to evade arrest after the murder, was brought back by the police after he was deported from Dubai. He was identified as the alleged killer by the witnesses during an identification parade.
