KARACHI (Dunya News) – Karachi City Court on Tuesday approved the physical remand of the man who killed a local named Munawwar in the presence of police allegedly due to a family dispute.
New Town police produced Sohail Mughal before judicial magistrate, east following which he was sent on a three-day remand.
The suspect asked court to sentence him to death if his children do not return. “I killed the man for honour. It was a burden on me,” he maintained.
On Sunday, Sohail was transported in a police van from Darakhshan police station to the residence of Munawwar in Bahadurabad on court orders to recover Sohail’s former wife and three children.
The suspect however; managed to bring a concealed weapon with him in the police van and shot dead Munawwar on arrival at his residence.
Sohail’s wife had separated from him after taking khula and was residing elsewhere with her three daughters. He later filed an abduction case against Munawwar, which was quashed by the court. However, the police was ordered to recover his family.
In his statement, Sohail told that he also wanted to kill his lawyer Roshan Murtaza and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officer Shahbaz. He claimed that both were involved in his separation with his wife and sold his flat while the FIA officer had taken hold of his money.
The documents submitted in Sindh High Court state that judges and lawyers have refused to hear Sohail’s case due to his mental condition.
The suspect had remained former assistant director of Intelligence Bureau (IB). He resigned from the post for his personal business of property.
