Murder convict was shifted back to prison as soon as news leaked to media, say sources
Shahrukh Jatoi, the murder convict of 2012 Shahzeb murder case, has been living a “lavish life” on the upper floor of a little known private hospital in Karachi’s Gizri area on the pretext of medical treatment.
Express News quoting home department sources reported on Monday that senior official of the Sindh government played a role in transferring the murder convict from prison to hospital under the guise of medical treatment.
Shahrukh was shifted to Qamarul Islam Hospital a few months ago, which is reportedly being rented by affluent Jatoi family of the province.
As soon as the news was leaked to the media, the murder convict was shifted back to the prison.
Earlier in 2018, then Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar expressed displeasure after he found out that the VIP treatment was being meted out to Shahrukh and ordered the authorities to shift the murder convict to the death cell.
The former top judge during surprise visit to Karachi’s Malir Jail caught Shahrukh enjoying B-class facilities at the prison.
