KARACHI:
Salik Shah, who registered the case of his brother Sarfraz’s extra-judicial murder, forgave Rangers personnel on Wednesday, reported Express News.
Salik said that he had forgiven the men convicted of his brother’s murder “in the name of God” and did not accept any blood money in return. He also submitted an application in the Sindh High Court for settlement in the case.
Nineteen-year-old Sarfraz Shah was shot by Rangers in the Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Park in Karachi on June 8, 2011. The incident was caught on videotape and broadcast on television channels nationwide.
A suo motu notice of the incident was taken by the Supreme Court of Pakistan which had ordered the removal of the Sindh chief secretary and director general of the Rangers and had also ordered a speedy trial of the case.
In August 2011, an anti-terrorism court had sentenced Rangers’ Shahid Zafar to death and condemned the remaining six men to life in prison.
