A settlement has been reached in the case of Karachi assault that involves Shahzain Marri and his guards, where they allegedly attacked two men near Boat Basin last month.
Victim Barkat Soomro said he forgave the attackers “for the good of Allah” after mediated political figures between both parties.
Speaking to local media, Soomro expressed his gratitude to journalists to highlight the case.
He added that his family elders were in contact with the defendant, which led to reconciliation.
The defendant recognized his irregularity and offered to pay compensation, but Soomro refused, choosing to forgive them instead.
The political and feudal figures, including Mir Nadir Magsi, Nawab Gazain Marri, Saeed Ghani and Nasir Hussain Shah, were present during the negotiations.
The South Police said they realized the agreement through the media reports, but that they had not received official legal confirmation.
The authorities argued that Marri would be arrested if he was in Karachi, and the case proceeded in court.
The assault, which occurred on February 19, called public attention after a video of the attack went viral, which caused the police action.
Seven suspects, including four guards, were arrested and weapons were recovered.
While the police successfully arrested the security guards of the attackers, Shahzain Marri managed to flee Quetta after the assault.
The deputy inspector (DIG) South, Syed Asad Raza declared that among the security guards arrested are Ghaus Bakhsh, Jalad Khan, Ali Zain, Hassan and others.
Shahzain Marri’s personal bodyguard are personal guards.
