    ‘Rot in the deepest pits of hell’: Osman Khalid Butt lashes out at Zahir Jaffer

    Actor Osman Khalid Butt recently took to his Twitter to lash out at primary suspect, Zahir Jaffer in the Noor Mukadam murder case.

    He penned, “After all this time, not a hint of remorse. Not a hint of shame. I hope you rot in the deepest pits of hell, Zahir.”

    The actor made his remarks in the response to Jaffer who retracted his confessional statement and refuted all the allegations of the murder of Noor Mukadam.

    Zahir recently said that Noor called her friends at his house for a drug party, and she was murdered by someone else, maybe someone present at the drug party, and not him.

    Several celebrities have shown their concerns over the delayed justice to the victim including Hadiqa Kiani and Adnan Siddiqui.

    Earlier this month, a local court in Islamabad, requested the Islamabad High Court (IHC) grant additional time to complete the trial. The murder trial began in October 2021.

    Noor Mukadam was brutally murdered in Islamabad on July 20 at Zahar’s residence. Her death sparked national outrage, including protests and candlelight vigils across the country. The Islamabad police arrested main suspect Zahir on the night of July 20 from his house.

    Noor Mukadam Case: Trial court seeks more time to complete trial

    A local court in Islamabad, during the hearing of the Noor Mukadam murder case, has requested the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to grant additional time to complete the trial. For the second time, the trial of the case could not be finished within the two-month deadline set by the Islamabad High Court.

    “Additional Sessions Judge Atta Rabbani has written a letter to the Islamabad High Court seeking more time to complete the trial. In the letter, Judge Atta Rabbani has stated that since all lawyers representing the accused hail from outside Islamabad, the dates for the hearings have to be fixed according to their availability and convenience,” Express Tribune has reported.

    The letter also stated that various petitions were heard throughout the trial, which wasted the court’s time and resulted in the trial court not being completed within the two-month time limit.

    The murder trial began in October 2021.
