GHINWA’S PETITION BEFORE SINDH HIGH COURT
IB CHIEF, DIG, KARACHI, SSP, OTHERS NAMED AS
MAIN ACCUSED
KARACHI, Sept, 26, 1996: Mrs Ghinwa Bhutto, widow of Mir Murtaza
Bhutto and Mrs Zaib-un-Nisa widow of Ashiq Jatoi, this morning filed a
petition in the Sindh High Court accusing the chief of the Intelligence Bureau,
DIG Karachi, SSP South, 2 SHOs, and 60 others police officials of conspiracy
to kill Mir and seven others on Sept. The petitioners prayed that an FIR be
registered against the accused persons and investigation of the case should be
taken up under the supervision of the SHC. They also prayed that the
investigation report should not be submitted to the government but to the
high court, and that the hearing of the petition should be in open court. The
petition was filed through their councils Mujeeb Pirzada and Ghulam
Mohammed Baloch. When the petition was filed an objection was raised by a
SHC official that it was not signed by Mrs. Ghinwa Bhutto. On the request of
Mr Pirzada, an official of the high court went to 70 Clifton and gets the
signatures of Ms. Ghinwa Bhutto. The petition is likely to come up for
preliminary hearing early next week.
