Shahbaz Ahmed Khan Lund, accused in the murder of journalist Nasrullah Gadani, and the Municipal Chairman of Mirpur Mathelo, has been suspended.
The Sindh government suspended him under the Sindh Local Government Ordinance, and the notification has been issued accordingly.
Journalist Nasrullah Gadani was killed in an attack by armed men on May 25 in Mirpur Mathilo.
A murder case against unknown persons has been registered at Mirpur Mathelo police station.
Gadani sustained three gunshot wounds in a deadly attack last month. Initially, he was transferred to Rahim Yar Khan for treatment and later, on the instructions of Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, he was moved to a private hospital in Karachi. Gadani, however, passed away during treatment there.
