Saulat Mirza

He escaped to Thailand and was arrested in December 1998 by Karachi’s super cop Chaudhry Aslam, when he returned two weeks after his mother passed away. He was booked for multiple murders but sentenced to death for killing then managing director of Karachi Electric Supply Company, Malik Shahid Hamid, his guard and driver. 

The Supreme Court dismissed Saulat Mirza’s plea challenging his death sentence. Mirza’s family members have also left for the city to meet him for the last time. The Sindh High Court ordered IG Balochistan and Home Secretary Akbar Durrani to let Mirza’s family meet him prior to his hanging. Mirza’s sister Nighat had complained to the court that she was denied access to her brother. According to the superintendent prison, Mirza was brought to Mach Prison during the month of February 2014. Home Secretary Akbar Durrani said Mirza is the only person on death row who would be executed in Balochistan.
