Karachi Court Grants Bail to Dumper Driver in Shahzeb Death Case

A local court in Karachi has approved the bail application of dumper driver Niazullah, accused of crushing a citizen, Shahzeb, to death and injuring his wife in the city’s Garden area earlier this week.

During the hearing at the City Court, the accused was produced before the judge, where his lawyer, Advocate Nazirullah Mehsud, submitted a bail plea. The court approved bail against surety bonds of Rs 3 million, though the accused was sent to jail until the payment is deposited. According to the defense, the bail amount will be submitted tomorrow.

The fatal accident occurred on Monday night, when a dumper truck hit a young man, Shahzeb, and his wife in the Garden area, resulting in Shahzeb’s death on the spot. Following the accident, angry citizens set the dumper on fire, and police arrested the driver.

Authorities subsequently registered a case against Dumper Association President Liaquat Mehsud, whose alleged interference at the scene further inflamed tensions.

According to sources, Liaquat Mehsud obtained pre-arrest bail from the court on Tuesday against surety bonds of Rs 50,000, with directions to appear before police investigators during the inquiry.

Witnesses reported that Liaquat Mehsud arrived at the accident site accompanied by an armed guard. Citizens protested his arrival, demanding justice, when his guard allegedly fired in the air, causing panic. The guard later fled the scene, according to police.

The incident led to further unrest, with enraged locals setting another dumper ablaze in the Ramswamy area.

Sindh Governor Kamran Tesori took serious notice of the incident, stating that brandishing or using weapons in public would not be tolerated. He directed the Inspector General of Police Sindh to take immediate action against those responsible.

Police have since arrested the gunman of the Dumper Association President and recovered weapons, while raids continue to apprehend Liaquat Mehsud.

Two FIRs have been registered against the guard — one filed by the father of the deceased Shahzeb and another by social leader Abdul Qadir Memon. The FIRs accuse Liaquat Mehsud and his men of threatening citizens, torturing women and children, and misusing vehicles with police hooters to intimidate the public.

In his response, Liaquat Mehsud claimed he was attacked with a firearm and announced plans to block the National Highway in protest. Police, however, warned that no one will be allowed to take the law into their own hands, vowing that all involved will face legal action.
