The murder case of former managing director Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) Shahid Hamid is likely to be reopened, as police have received details from Anti-terrorism court (ATC). Saulat Mirza, a former worker of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) was awarded death penalty in May 1999 for Hamid and his driver and security guard's murder, who were killed on July 5, 1997.
The details were received by the police over the directives of the federal government. Sindh government formed a fresh JIT following Mirza's video statement in which he claimed that MQM chief Altaf had ordered to carry out the killings.
