in the infamous Ramsha Wassan murder case were on Saturday produced in the Khairpur Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) upon expiry of their physical remand.
The prime suspect, Zulfiqar Wassan aka Zulfoo along with his associates nominated in the case, Ghaffar Wassan and Sabir Wassan, were produced in the ATC amid stringent security as Zulfoo appeared to have alleged political clout and scores of cases of heinous crime registered against him over the last many years.
The Khairpur police also produced the crime weapon, a TT pistol allegedly used in Ramsha’s murder, and informed the court that it was used by Sabir Wassan and seized from him during investigation of the case.
The court acceded to the police’s request for an extension of the three suspects’ remand for three days for further interrogation.
Ramsha, 13, was rubbed out on Feb 3 and her mother alleged that Zulfoo and his associates killed her after she had chosen to marry one of her cousins against the will of an influential person of the area. The mother claimed that her daughter was first kidnapped and a few days after she was recovered, the suspect stormed into their house and gunned her down.
During the investigation, the police arrested the cook of a feudal lord, MNA Nawab Wassan, who had allegedly been in constant touch with Zulfoo before Ramsha was murdered. According to preliminary investigation, Zulfoo is a nephew of Nawab Wassan.
