LAHORE: Main accused in Daniel Pearl murder case Omar Sheikh has been shifted to Lahore over security concerns. As per a local media report on Monday, Omar Sheikh has been handed over to Punjab Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) and has been shifted to Chung CTD cell.
It is pertinent to mention here that Supreme Court bench headed by Justice Mushir Alam had dismissed the petition of the Sindh government against Sindh High Court (SHC) decision to overturn the conviction of accused.
