SHC rejects bail pleas of ex-MPA, son for making life attempt on PPP's Mahtab Dahar

In a headway made in the case of attempt to murder PPP member of Sindh Assembly (MPA) Jam Mehtab Dahar, Sukkur bench of the Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday rejected the bail applications filed by the former MPA Shehryar Shar and his son Jahangir Shar, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Senior judge of the SHC Justice Mehmood A. Khan heard the case.

Shehryar and Jahangir, however, did not turn up in the court. 

Former MPA Shaheryar Shar, his son Jehangir Shar and eight other suspects were booked at the Khenjo police station on March 18, 2025 for their alleged involvement in the Sunday (March 16) attack on Dahar.

Dahar had escaped unhurt in the attack but his bodyguard, Zafar Dahar, was killed and three other persons, Asad Shah, Akhtar Pathan and Channesar Dondho, were wounded.

The incident had taken place along a link road near the Batri Wahi area of Ubauro taluka.

Ghotki SSP Dr Samiullah Soomro had requested Jam Mehtab to allow him time to seek higher authorities’ permission before an FIR of his desire could be registered against his political rival, Shaheryar Shar, and other suspects.
