In his college years, Mirza was an avid fan of Pakistan cricket team and often played cricket as well as Table tennis.[12] Mirza was described as young good looking and attractive person and a devoted worker of the MQM.[12] Political career and targeted killingsAfter joining the MQM and taking part in national politics, Mirza soon participated in illegal activities such as extortion and involved in acquitting in political murders.[11] Mirza largely remained unknown and was not a known figure in the MQM until 1995 when his close friend Faheem Farooqi got arrested in 1995 and described him as his right-hand man.[13] At one time, Mirza was a major figure in the militant wing of the MQM as per Pakistani agencies allegations, running several death cells.[14] He was accused of coordinating the murders of six U.S. nationals in Shahrah-e-Faisal in Karachi, but he denied involvement in the killing of two US diplomats and four U.S. nationals of an American Oil Company in the city in 1994.[14] However, the investigation later revealed Nadeem Commando, an accomplice of Mirza, was the main culprit; Nadeem was later killed in a police encounter in 1997 by Karachi Police.{{citation needed|date=April 2018}} Since then, the FIA and the intelligence community had him under strict surveillance.[15] Although, Mirza did admit to killing a number of people, including a Pakistani employee of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in 1995.[14] Mirza reportedly fled the country in 1995 after Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto initiated a massive crackdown against MQM and returned home after Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's dismissal in 1996.[13] On 5 July 1997, he shot and killed the Managing Director of Karachi Electric Supply Corporation (KESC) Shahid Hamid, his driver and guard in Karachi.[6][16] He reportedly escaped to Bangkok and only returned to Karachi 2 weeks after his mother's death on 10 December 2018.[17][15] A day later, on 11 December 1998, Mirza was arrested from the Jinnah Terminal in a sting operation led by CID officer Aslam Khan and was described as a "prize catch."[14][15] During his arrest, Mirza confessed that he was involved in a number of murders of innocent people, including several high-profile personalities, in the presence of DIG Sindh Police Ameen Qureshi.[18] Mirza's wife later testified that he was in contact with Altaf Hussain just before arrest, though the MQM denied the charge.[19] In May 1999, the Anti-Terrorist Court awarded him a death sentence for Triple-murder case of MD of Karachi Electric Supply Corporation Shahid Hamid, his driver Ashraf Brohi and guard Akbar Khan. In April 2014, he was transferred to supermax facility, the Central Jail Macch in Balochistan, and was placed in the Death Cell after his mercy plea was rejected by Sindh High Court and President of Pakistan Mamnoon Hussain.[20] The Anti-Terrorism court issued the black warrant on 12 March against Mirza to be executed on 19 March 2015 in the early morning at Machh Jail Baluchistan. His sister filed another petition in Supreme Court seeking delay in execution but two-Judge bench turned down her appeal.[21][22] A few hours before Mirza's scheduled execution a video tape was released on Electronic Media of Mirza's confession, in which he accused MQM of ordering him to perform the crime.[23] The MQM chief Altaf Hussain denied having met with Saulat and said there was no evidence, but instead claimed a conspiracy against MQM.[24][25] Execution and burialThe execution originally scheduled for 19 March 2015 was deferred for 72 hours.[23] An anti-terrorism court in Karachi re-issued a black warrant on 23 March 2015.[26] On 12 May 2015 at 4:30 a.m., Saulat Mirza was hanged till death at Machh Jail in Baluchistan, Pakistan.[27] His body was flown from Quetta to Karachi via PIA flight.[28] Mirza's last prayers and ceremony was performed in Karachi and he was laid to rest at Muhammad Shah graveyard, North Karachi, which was attended by his close friends, family members and neighbours.[29][30] See also
