The case of the murder case of journalist Nasrullah Gadani has been taken to court. During the last hearing, witnesses named a local MNA of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and two of his sons for planning the assassination.
The journalist’s brother and cousin Yaqoob Gadani and Salah Gadani recorded their statements under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) before Second Civil Judge and Judicial Magistrate Mirpur Mathelo Muhammad Idress Jakhrani.
Gadani was killed in Mirpur Mathelo on May 21. He was shifted to Karachi for treatment after the attack, where he succumbed to his injuries.
According to the witnesses, on April 11, 2024, three people threatened Nasrullah because he did not stop reporting against them.
On June 8, 2024, police reportedly arrested Asghar Loond, son of Hoat Loond, one of the three main suspects, and found the weapons, motorcycle, and three mobile phones used in the assassination.
Police have declared Asghar Loond’s brother Barkat and Abdullah as absconders.
