Revelations in Javed Butt Murder Case: Plot Details and Motive Uncovered

Recent developments in the investigation into the murder of Javed Butt, a prominent businessman and brother-in-law of Tefi Butt, have shed light on the premeditated nature of the crime. According to police reports, the plot to kill Javed Butt was meticulously planned over a period of two and a half months, culminating in a targeted attack on September 2.

 

The investigation has uncovered that the plan to assassinate Javed Butt was orchestrated in a meeting held at a camp in Shah Alami, involving key figures including Musab, Arif, and the shooters Ilyas and Azhar. During this meeting, a reward of 5.5 lakh rupees and 5.5 marla of land, along with a promise of a house, was offered for carrying out the murder.

 

The shooters, Ilyas and Azhar, who have prior criminal records, were reportedly introduced to Musab by a reliable employee named Arif. Arif, who was already present at the crime scene during the murder, played a crucial role in arranging the meeting between the shooters and Musab. According to the police, Arif was instrumental in facilitating the attack by coordinating with the other conspirators.

 

Before executing the murder, the shooters conducted surveillance using rickshaws for 15 days. They were observed waiting outside Javed Butt's residence, carrying out detailed reconnaissance to ensure the success of their plan. On the day of the murder, the shooters followed Javed Butt's vehicle to Canal Road and opened fire when the vehicle stopped at a traffic signal.

 

Further investigation revealed that Musab, who is the younger brother of the deceased Balaj and the son of Tipu Truckanwala, had fled to Dubai on August 28, just days before the murder. This preemptive escape suggests that Musab was aware of the imminent crime and took steps to avoid capture.

 

The tragic incident, which occurred on Canal Road in broad daylight, has shocked the community and led to a swift response from law enforcement. The police have apprehended the accused from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and the case continues to unfold as more details emerge.

 

The murder of Javed Butt, orchestrated by a network of conspirators with a clear motive and detailed planning, underscores the complexities of criminal investigations and the challenges faced by law enforcement in bringing perpetrators to justice.
