Hearing Adjourned in Jan Muhammad Mehar Murder Case, Main Accused Still at Large

The hearing in the murder case of senior journalist Jan Muhammad Mehar was adjourned until January 10 due to delays caused by the lawyers. The accused, Bashir Mehar, Bakhshal Mehar, Munawar Mehar, Babar Mehar, Ramzan Sheikh, and Shero Sheikh, appeared in court along with their legal representatives.

Jan Muhammad Mehar, a respected journalist, was tragically shot and killed 15 months ago in the city center. Despite the passage of 493 days since the murder, the main accused in the case, including Shero Mehar, Qurban Mehar, Gulzar Mehar, Roshan Mehar, Naseer Mehar, Juman Mehar, and Mohsin Mehar, have yet to be arrested. This delay in justice has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the legal system in handling high-profile murder cases, particularly those involving journalists.

The murder of Jan Muhammad Mehar remains a sensitive issue, with many calling for swift action and justice. The failure to apprehend the main suspects has led to growing frustration among the media community, human rights activists, and the general public, who are demanding accountability for the murder.

As the case is adjourned once again, the wait for justice continues. The next hearing, scheduled for January 10, is expected to see further developments in the case, with hopes that the remaining accused will finally be brought to justice.
