Slain journalist Arshad Sharif’s murder case took a surprising twist on Thursday when the anchor’s mother filed a petition in the Supreme Court (SC) seeking to include Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in the investigation into her son’s murder.
Other than the former Prime Minister, Arshad Sharif’s mother has requested that Faisal Vawda, Murad Saeed, Salman Iqbal and Imran Riaz Khan be made part of the investigation into Sharif’s killing.
A five-member bench headed by the Chief Justice will hear the case. The Attorney General, Ministry of External Affairs, and special JIT have received notifications from the Supreme Court.
Arshad Sharif was shot dead by Kenyan police on Oct 23, 2022, in what was described as a case of mistaken identity.
