Former Additional IG Sindh and Director FIA Sindh Shahid Hayat has been admitted to a hospital in critical condition in Nairobi, Kenya.
He was on tour with staff college and fell ill due to collapse of lungs.
Generally seen as a straight-forward police official, Hayat has many high-profile cases to his credit.
However, it was his involvement in the Mir Murtaza Bhutto murder case that kept him in the news for a long time.
Some high-profile cases whose investigation Hayat headed included the supervision of the probe into the Shahzeb murder case, which culminated in the successful custody of Shahrukh Jatoi, since convicted, and his return to Karachi to face trial.
He also supervised the investigation into the Abbas Town bombing and arrested several suspects.
