KARACHI: Two suspects fled from the Malir courts after their interim bail was dismissed in the young Jazlan murder case.

The prime suspect, Hasnain Faiz, his brothers; Irfan Faiz, Ahsan Faiz, their father Muhammad Faiz and friend Inshal have been booked and arrested for shooting young Jazlan to death over a trivial dispute in Bahria Town Karachi on May 25.

Additional District and Sessions Judge (Malir) pronounced his order on the applications seeking confirmation of interim pre-arrest bail granted to Muhammad Faiz and his absconding son Ahsan earlier.

The judge noted that the applicants failed to make out a case for the confirmation of their interim bail. Therefore, the judge rejected their requests and dismissed their applications.

Witnesses and police said both the suspects, who were present in the courtroom, managed to escape after dismissal of their bail pleas.

On the last date, the investigating officer, Inspector Aslam Jutt, had filed an interim challan, chargesheeting the father, his three sons and their friend for allegedly killing Jazlan with a licensed pistol and trying to conceal the evidence and weapon to hush up the offence.

A case was registered under Section 302 (premeditated murder) of the Pakistan Penal Code at the Gadap City police station.
