    Court summons Sara Inam’s husband

    The district and sessions court in Islamabad has summoned Shahnawaz Amir on October 12 in Sara Inam’s murder case.

    Shahnawaz Amir, the husband of the murdered Sara I am, will record his statement at the court. The orders for the same were passed by Judge Azam Khan on Tuesday after recording the statements of the investigation officer and prosecution witnesses in the murder case.

    The son of politician and analyst Ayaz Amir, Shahnawaz Amir allegedly murdered his wife by smashing her head with a dumbbell.
    His testimony will be recorded under Section 342 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), according to which the judge can question the suspect at any stage of the trial.

    “For the purpose of enabling the accused to explain any circumstances appearing in the evidence against him, the court may at any stage of any inquiry or trial without previously warning the accused, put such questions to him as the Court considers necessary, and shall, for the purpose aforesaid, question him generally on the case after the witness for the prosecution have been examined and before he is called on for his defence.”

    Investigation officer Habibur Rehman claimed that he did not fabricate any evidence nor commit any negligence.

    He said that Ayaz Amir and his wife, Samina Shah, were also mentioned as susoects in the FIR.

    According to the challan, Shahnawaz Amir told the police that the couple had a heated telephonic argument when Sara Inam did not send him money and that Amir divorced her on the call.

    When Sara Inam came to Islamabad from Abu Dhabi on September 22, she argued with him, asking him to return the money she sent him.

    He injured her after hitting her with a decoration piece after which Sara Inam “started making noise”. Amir then hit her a number of times on the head with the dumbbell.

    Habibur Rehman also said that the Police reached Farm House 46 in Chak Shahzad where the murder was committed after the registration of FIR.

    Sara Inam’s body was taken to the hospital for post-mortem and was kept in the mortuary because her parents were not in Pakistan.

    The police retrieved the blood-stained dumbbell, passports, nikahnama, and mobile phones from the room of the accused.

    Noor Mukadam and Sara Inam’s fathers demand speedy trial

    The fathers of Noor Mukadam and Sara Inam, victims of two high-profile murders, held a news conference in Islamabad on Sunday, demanding that legal proceedings in their daughters’ cases be sped up.

    Sunday also marked a year since 37-year-old economist Sara Inam was found dead after allegedly being killed by her husband, Shahnawaz Amir.

    Both the grieving fathers also stressed on the safety and rights of women in Pakistan.

    Sara Inam’s father, Engineer Inam Rahim, said, “We were hoping this would take about six months since these were open-and-shut cases.”

    He also urged the media to continue highlighting the cases in newspapers and on television channels.

    “We request you to continue to highlight these cases since that will raise our hopes of getting justice,” he said, reminding the press that Sara was victimised by her husband who only wanted her wealth and killed her.

    Similarly, Noor Mukadam’s father, former diplomat Shaukat Ali Mukadam, also urged the authorities to endure prompt action.

    Noor Mukadam was murdered in July 2021 by her friend Zahir Jaffer, who was later sentenced to death. He filed an appeal with the Supreme Court in April this year and the case has remained pending since then.

    “The courts will lose their credibility if such cases continue to remain pending in them,” Noor’s father said.
