The fanatics, he added, also tried to lynch his driver, Prem Kolhi, while he was bringing the body by car. They tried to torch the car with the body and driver but Kolhi managed to escape their wrath, Saleh Kunbhar said. “Our women, youths and children had been under serious threat since the first mob attack as the fanatics were out to kill us,” he said, urging the authorities concerned to fulfil their duty of ensuring the protection to the life and property of citizens from these “death squads”.

They noted that blasphemous material was being sent to his SIMs, WhatsApp and Instagram accounts even after they were turned off. He deplored that the fanatics did not heed any of his brother’s explanations. “Why did the police and security agencies not check the social media accounts when such material was seen and these platforms were being used to incite mob justice, violence and extremism?” they asked. Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz chairman Aslam Khairpuri and its another leader Dr Niaz Kalani, and Rawadari Tehreek leader Punhal Sario told the media that Dr Shah Nawaz Kunbhar was not given his right to be heard by a court of law. They deplored that police had saved him from mob lynching but then eliminated him in cold blood. Dr Kunbhar’s widow and mother registration of a murder FIR case all members of the police team that killed him in their custody. They also demanded a judicial inquiry into the whole episode. “My son was a true Muslim; he was a topper in the medical university he studied in,” the mother said, and moaned that his body was not allowed to be buried in their ancestral graveyard. Dr Kunbhar’s widow said her husband used to teach the holy Quran to young children. “How could he indulge in blasphemy?” she asked. “We cooperated with the police when they came to arrest him; and we were satisfied that he would remain in safe custody till the matter was fairly investigated. But the police cheated us and killed him in cold blood,” she said, adding that killers of her husband must be awarded death sentence.
