KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday extended bail of a prime suspect in Nazim Jokhio murder and PPP MNA Jam Abdul Karim and other suspects by three days, ARY NEWS reported.
PPP MNA Jam Abdul Karim and other suspects appeared before the court and sought extension in their bail. The court extended the bail by three days and directed them to appear before the anti-terrorism court (ATC).
Yesterday, in a major development in the Nazim Jokhio murder case, the names of PPP MNA Jam Kareem Jokhio, his brother MPA Jam Awais Jokhio and six others were eliminated from the case.
The investigation officer of the case, Siraj Lashari, submitted the challan to the anti-terrorism court. In the challan, Haider, Mairaj and Niaz have been nominated as accused in the case.
The judicial magistrate Malir had ordered to include anti-terrorism clauses in the Nazim Jokhio murder case.
Earlier, in October 2021, the family of Nazim Jokhio claimed that PPP MPA Jam Awais Gohram Jokhio and his men had allegedly tortured Nazim to death as he tried to stop his foreign guests from hunting houbara bustards in the Memon Goth area of Karachi.
Police registered a murder case against PPP MPA Awais, his brother MNA Jam Kareem and others. They detained Awais but Jam Kareem left the country and flew to Dubai.
Police nominated detained MPA and four others as accused in their charge sheet and showed MNA Jam Kareem as an absconding suspect in the case.
