Shahrukh Jatoi
Twenty-year old Shahzeb Khan was in dark grey shirt and trousers, the clothes he wore to the Valima of her sister when 9mm bullets pierced through his car and entered his body, which eventually killed him. That was December 25, 2012.
The incident was a result of a small argument. Shahzeb Khan raised his voice when his sister was teased by a servant from the building in their Country Club Apartments. They just arrived from the wedding reception. The servant’s master, Nawab Siraj Talpur, had the situation sinked badly to his mind even after Khan’s father, a police officer, jumped and resolved the dispute. The young men seemed to separate with a good note.
Khan left the house for a tea with friends later. Talpur and his pal Shahrukh Jatoi as well as the latter’s armed guards followed him. They fired bullets into Khan’s car, and left him severely injured, and eventually, dead. The suspects conveniently escaped with their families, after the incident. Even Khan’s father who is with the police, found that they can do very little to catch them. That is the result when the spoiled young son of influential landlords are challenged.

Shahzeb Khan
Shahzeb Khan’s father Aurangzeb, said that taking lives had been easy for people with power and strong political backgrounds. Even if he had settled the dispute, his only son was still killed – a proof that influential people do not spare anyone and make it difficult for the police to catch the suspects. It is now a trend for young adults to carry guns while they travel, and point them to anyone, when triggered. Parliamentarians cannot do anything as their armed guards do the same.
Friends of Khan remember him as a young man who is ready to seek justice for others. He always ended up something with a smile. His uncle Jahanzaib said that the last time he saw him, he joked with his daughters then went away, leaving them forever.
Murder Suspect Shahrukh Jatoi Arrested in Dubai as well but not handed over to Pakistani authorities yet.
