Fatima murder case: Pir Fayyaz Shah rearrested

RANIPUR: Pir Fayyaz Shah, an accused  in the Fatima murder case, was re-apprehended on Friday.

Shah had previously been released on bail by the Sindh High Court. His arrest occurred while he was en route to his haveli, according to the police.

A bench of the high court had granted Fayyaz Shah a six-day bail and had ordered the police not to detain him in connection with the murder case of the child maid Fatima at the Ranipur Haveli.

Following his arrest, Shah was relocated to an undisclosed location.

Pir Fayyaz Shah has consistently asserted that Fatima died due to illness, and he and his family members vehemently deny any involvement in the case. He contends that they are the targets of political persecution.
