Jail Deputy Superintendent Malik Muhammad Mushtaq and Assistant Superintendent Ali Akbar told APP that Shaukat Hayat of Mauza Bungle Wala, Qadirpur Raan, Multan, shot dead two constables Rab Nawaz and Farman Ali when they tried to arrest him on Oct 8, 1994.

All his appeals in the superior courts and to the president were dismissed.

Shaukat was given one month’s time for seeking pardon from the families of the slain but in vain.

On Monday, his relatives visited him in the jail for the last time.

The body was handed over to his heirs.—APP
