The Mirpur Special Bench of the Sindh High Court has ordered that the names of a suspended Deputy Inspector General (DIG) and two Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs) be added to the Exit Control List (ECL) in connection with the murder case of Dr. Shahnawaz Kanbhar, who was killed during a fake competition.

 

The hearing, presided over by Justice Adnan Karim Memon and Justice Amjad Ali Bohio, addressed a request for a judicial investigation into the incident, filed by lawyers Ali Puleh, Asghar Narejo, and others.

The court's decision underscores the seriousness of the allegations and the need for thorough scrutiny of the events surrounding Dr. Shahnawaz Kanbhar's tragic death.

 

As the case progresses, the Sindh High Court aims to ensure that justice is served and that all relevant parties are held accountable for their roles in this incident.
