Dubai: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Police on Tuesday refuted the claims of Pakistani media citing sources that Shahrukh Jatoi, the prime suspect in Shahzeb Khan Murder case, was arrested in Dubai.
On Tuesday, the media reports revealed that Shahrukh Jatoi, who fled the country on December 27 and entered UAE, was arrested in Dubai with the help of Interpol.
According to Gulf News report, the Dubai police denied reports of Shahrukh arrest and said that the alleged culprit had not been arrested.
The police official said that if Pakistan wanted to arrest a suspect in Dubai, a “note of the arrest warrant from Interpol” should be received by local authorities.
The report further quoted the official as saying that if Jatoi was arrested, it would be announced by Dubai Police.
However, Inspector General Sindh Police Fayyaz Leghari had claimed to have no knowledge of the arrest.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Jan 1, had taken notice of the murder of 20-year-old Shahzeb Khan, the son of a serving police DSP and had directed the authorities to produce the accused in court.
The Sindh police acting on the orders of the Supreme Court had contacted the Interpol and had sent two of its high ranking officials to Dubai to seek Jatoi’s custody.
