Zakir Jaffer and Asmat Adamjee filed the petition in the apex court through Khawaja Haris Advocate.

The Islamabad police had arrested the parents of Noor Mukadam’s killer on July 25, 2021.

Former Pakistan’s envoy’s daughter had been brutally killed by Zahir Zakir when the former, as per his account, refused to marry him.

Zahir Zakir’s father Zakir Jaffer and mother Asmat Adamjee were taken into custody by the police in the federal capital. Earlier, the police also arrested Zahir Zakir’s domestic helpers Iftikhar and Jamil for investigation.

The arrests of Zakir Jaffer and Asmat Adamjee were made after a detailed statement by Noor Mukadam’s father, Shaukat Mukadam.

The police said Zakir Jaffer, Asmat Adamjee, servants Iftikhar and Jameel were arrested on charges of hiding facts and assistance in crime.
