KARACHI: The Sindh police have urged the provincial government to coordinate with Balochistan authorities for the arrest of tribal leader Shahzain Marri, who allegedly fled after his guards were detained for assaulting a citizen in Karachi’s Boat Basin area.
Last week, Karachi’s South Zone police apprehended multiple security guards following a viral video showing them attacking two individuals in a car. While initial reports suggested that seven guards had been arrested, an official document later confirmed that five were taken into custody.
According to South DIG Syed Asad Raza, Marri, the grandson of late Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Khair Bux Marri, was identified as the prime suspect. He, along with his security personnel, reportedly tortured a citizen before escaping to Balochistan.
To facilitate his arrest, Sindh IG Ghulam Nabi Memon has written to the provincial home secretary, requesting the Sindh government to engage with Balochistan authorities regarding the capture of Marri and another suspect, Ghulam Qadir.
Authorities are now awaiting further action from the Balochistan government to bring the suspects to justice.
