KARACHI:
A judicial magistrate on Wednesday allowed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to investigate Shahrukh Jatoi, the main suspect in the Shahzeb Khan murder case, at the Juvenile Jail till February 11. It also directed prison authorities to produce Jatoi at the court on Saturday, February 9.
Judicial magistrate for district Malir, Abdul Shakor Kalhoro, allowed the investigation officer of FIA’s anti-human trafficking department, Saeed Ahmed Memon, to interrogate Jatoi, after a new case had been registered against him under the Passport Act on Tuesday.
The new case, No. 26/13, was registered after investigations revealed that Jatoi had illegally left the country. Sohail Ahmed, a travel consultant affiliated with Fazal-e-Rabbi (Pvt) Limited, and Muhammad Taha Hussain, a check-in agent at Gerry’s Dnata (Pvt) Limited, were accused of helping Jatoi escape from Jinnah International Airport. Gerry’s Dnata provides ground handling services to airlines at airports in Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Islamabad.
The case was registered at the FIA police station, under Sections 419 (punishment for cheating by impersonation), 420 (delivering property through cheating and dishonest means), and 109 of the Pakistan Penal Code, and Sections 3, 4 and 6(1) of the Passport Act. FIA had added Ahmed and Hussain’s names in the FIR under section 109 (abetment).
Kalhoro had on Tuesday allowed the FIA officer, Memon, to interrogate Jatoi for one day. On Wednesday, Memon told the judge that Jatoi kept to the statement that he had given in the office of the deputy superintendent of Juvenile Jail on February 2, and that he needed more time to interrogate him.
The judge accepted the FIA official’s request, and directed the superintendent of Juvenile Jail to produce him before the court on February 11.
Shahzeb, son of DSP Aurangzeb, was shot dead in the upscale Defence neighbourhood of Karachi on December 25 over a petty dispute. The prime suspect, Jatoi, had then fled the country to evade arrest, and was finally brought back by law enforcers from Dubai over two weeks back.
