NAB Sukkur visited Police Station Jacobabad to register FIR against the mob on June 29, 2021 and duly informed the SSP Jacoabad, who did not cooperate and did not take action against unruly mob.

On June 29, 2021, an application was moved by NAB Sukkur against Rafey Jakhrani, Mujeeb Jakhrani, Khadim Bhutto, Zafar Brieo and others to SSP Jackoabad but the SSP did not provided them protection.

The bail application of Khursheed Shah has been rejected by Sindh High Court and Khursheed Shah was on judicial remand. The complaint verification and inquiry against Haleem Adil Sheikh was continuing by NAB Karachi after the permission of competent authority, where law will take its course.
