AKU Expels 10 Students on Murder Charges Finally

I am sometimes quite hooked onto SA Tribune, for its blunt reporting style, though Shaheen Sehbai the ex-editor of The News is wanted by the Paki Govt because the Danial Pearl video tapes landed on his doorsteps and Shaheen instead of handing the tapes over to the establishment convinently showed up at the US Embassy to present the evidence, for this reason he came on the most wanted list so had to leave Pakistan ASAP. Well placed journalists say his reporting style is unique and is wasting his talents running an Anti-Establishment journal. Enough…. now to the latest disclosure, the report seems to be well investigated even with attached supporting evidence.

A few students of AKU were found to be involved in the murder of a third-year student and one of the accused was the son of a Army Colonel who was also appoitned to the Higher Education Commision and taught at the Army Medical College.

Assad Aftab, a 3rd year student of AKU, was found dead in the Hostel room of another student Zeeshan, son of an Army Colonel, on Sept 16, 2004 in mysterious conditions. When the body was found, family members said the AKU emergency doctors proclaimed it as a “suicide” by “overdose of drugs” and wanted the family to take it away and bury it, without involving the police. When the family refused, police was called and an autopsy was done the same night at the Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Center (JPMC).

The autopsy report was not immediately available to the family so they were confused but it clearly showed the cause of death as “Asphyxia due to suffocation” and “overdose of Benzodiazepine”. The report also noted that there were “groove type” marks over both wrists as if the hands had been tied before death.

    OK….The AKU wanted to quietly hush the family by lying abt the autopsy.just for its repute.
    I know the family………cuz i go to the same skool dat Asad Aftab went to…….and whyr his cuzins still go to.
    I think the AKU are just trying to reopen moral wounds……..and well Im glad justice was served……this shows AKU is indeed apart of the crime stricken Karachi

    I knew Asad Aftab aka Ado very well. I studied with him during the first two years and met him 3 days before he died on 16th September 2010. He died due to drug overdose which he willingly took with 6 other students in the male hostel. Its a pity his parents arent letting his soul rest in peace till now by framing murder charges on the friends closest to him for 2 years before his death. 6 students were expelled and not 10. The murder trial is still going on and its 2010.
