The late Raja Qureshi, who was the former advocate general Sindh, had been closely following the case of Daniel Pearl’s kidnapping and murder. In those days the trial was ongoing in an anti-terrorism court in Karachi against four accused, including the British-Pakistani Omar Sheikh.
In 2002, I met Qureshi and asked him why three other men, who were also key suspects, had not been charged despite their arrest.

They explained that the board was supposed to examine the promotion of PSP officers at 10.45am, Secretariat Group officers at 12.15pm, PAS at 2pm and Info
