KARACHI: President Arif Alvi kept mum on murder case held in State Life Insurance Corporation (SLIC), government organisation against which daughter of deceased addressed an appeal in December 2022 but even after lapse of about three months he has not even acknowledged it.  

 Maham Amjad daughter of deceased Muhammad Ahmed Amjad while talking to Daily National Courier disclosed that she wrote letter to President Arif Alvi that her father was murdered in State Life Insurance. He was heading State Life Insurance as Regional Chief of Sindh and Balochistan at age of 43. He had won 18 gold medals and was known to not let corruption happen. 

My father’s case example is being used to date to threaten honest officials working in state life insurance. In 1999 my father was made head of the inspection team after which he caught corruption worth billions. He started getting victimised after that. My father’s murder was last crime committed with him not first.  I requested President to please help me find justice for my father, as catching accused through Interpol is in process. Departmental enquiry is very important for me at this stage. Any delay in getting it can make or break my stance on justice. I requested to have panel of neutrals sit in SLIC to do an investigation/enquiry on my father’s murder.  Muhammad Ahmed Amjad was brutally murdered in state life insurance office on his seat by another employee who was much junior to him. “He shot 10 bullets at my father and was made to flee out of country by SLIC.

Prior to murder my father was documenting and bringing on record that killer was threatening my father, bringing firearms to office and even trying to murder attempt on him one month before murder. Even with trail of letters murderer wasn’t fired being only sales manager who wasn’t even permanent employee” Maham said.  Entire crime scene was fabricated by SLIC management and no evidence was provided to police. Letter trail my father left behind was hidden from police and court and we as family of deceased lied that name of murderer was placed on Exit control list (State life issued public statement saying same now).  

Killer fled from Pakistan to Dubai two months after murder, his name was placed on ECL by me now. Killer’s family being his son, daughter and wife to date were working in SLIC. He was never black-listed from entering SLIC even after murder and to date has been selling state life policies. Police was paid to steal file of murder of her father and paper trail Ahmed Amjad left behind in SLIC, original documents all were missing at same time. I was 15 years old and too young to be able to fight case at time of murder. My father had shot 10 bullets on August 26, 2008, ever since I reopened my father’s case murderer made very public video threatening to kill me after which he was arrested in Dubai and currently has travel ban on him. I want to bring him back to Pakistan through Interpol. Lahore High Court ruled decision in my favour and asked SLIC to provide departmental enquiry and investigation along with ECL record. None of above is in record of state life because none of above ever happened. Maham added that even after 14 years and with high court’s order SLIC management is not providing any documents or making any efforts to do serious enquiry as many were involved from Corporation management in my father’s murder.

They have started an enquiry which is not doing anything but making paper trail for court. Simultaneously to silence me they’ve filed an Rs 800 million defamation suit on me when I’ve only spoken with evidence I have attached with this letter to President, Maham Amjad concluded.
