It was reported that the father of the main accused was becoming an obstacle in the investigation process. However, the other four suspects were presented before the court today and were sent on a four-day physical remand.
The special prosecutor while speaking to the media in Karachi said that the main accused was not sent a physical remand as it was necessary for him to appear before the court.
The murder
An 18-year-old student of O’ Levels was shot dead at 2am on May 8 while he was studying in his balcony. The young man, Suleman Lashari, was allegedly targeted by a police officer’s son, Salman Abro, who came to Lashari’s house along with five police constables to settle an argument.
The guards deployed at Lashari’s house had retaliated and the victim's brother Zeeshan had also joined in after getting his weapon from his room.
Abro was also injured in the exchange of fire and one of his police guards, constable Zaheer Ahmed, was killed. Abro is critically injured and is currently admitted at Ziauddin Hospital. The incident had also left Lashari’s guard, Ali Bugti, injured.
An FIR No. 235/2014 has been registered by the deceased's brother at the Darakhshan police station against Abro and the four police constables – Muhammad Rasheed, Yasin, Maqbool and Imran – who accompanied him. The name of the deceased police constable has not been added in the FIR, which includes Sections 302, 324 and Anti-Terrorim Act Section seven. The four surviving policemen are in police custody while Abro will be arrested when he recovers from his injuries. The police have also seized the Vigo and the weapons.

A police wala's son kills a wadera's son.. Gives me a sadistic pleasure to see people who ripped the system of law and order and enforced their superiority complex are reaping the fruits of what they have sown!
How time's have changed,i remember my uncle was the IG of Kpk while i was studying in Peshawar and i got into a couple of fights at school and beaten up also sometimes yet no one knew who my uncle was and neither did i even think of calling him or his constables up lest i wanted to be thrown in jail by my own uncle!
This will continue to happen till a death sentence is implemented. There is no fear of Allah or the law. Accused walk out showing victory signs when they are punished and they are hailed as heroes by their supporters. So what do we expect? May Allah give the strength to the bereaved families...amen
Police protection is only for his father not for son govt should take action on this
People should stop crying about how bad our society is and start praying for the families of the deceased and praying for justice being served.
When the Land fails to provide justice.........providence steps in and provides it.
how these police officers owned houses in defense society?
As usual, the family of the deceased will take this to the court and media, then at last minute they will accept blood money and everything will be forgotten. This is Pakistan after all, where people care more about money than justice.
An SSP's kid can do this? Hahahahaha wow times have changed. My grandfather was IG when I was growing up and I got bullied and beaten up every day in Karachi. What a joke our country has become.
Why are children of police officers travelling around with police protection? This protection is only for VVIPs. Pull all police protection from all officers and their families. Both parents are responsible for allowing this to happen. If police showed up at gate their guards should have called the parents to the gate to deal with the police. Also, you can't just show up at someone's house with police without authorization. The father seems to allowed son full access to police privileges. The problem in the city is the police who still have nor got priorities right or obeying the law themselves.
With my condolences to the families of the deceased on either side, this country has gone to the dogs.
Game of Thrones in reality.........:p
Same old story. Main accused will be freed because his father is SSP. We ask forgiveness from Allah as his accountability seems imminent.
father of the culprit should be jailed too. Such ignorant parents should be reprimanded very strictly.
It is sad
