On October 12, 1970, a gifted poet was found dead at his house in Karachi. In the next room, a beautiful socialite lay unconscious. The torrid saga instantly became a national obsession and endures in public memory
In 1970, Pakistan was seduced by a sex scandal like none before. Mustafa Zaidi, a 40-year-old gifted poet and an influential ex-civil servant personifying rizz, was found dead at his residence on a “hot and dry” October morning in upscale Karachi. In another room, Shahnaz Gul, a devastatingly attractive socialite in her mid-20s, lay unconscious. The two were married, but not to each other.
Over the next many weeks, indeed months, the case became a not-so-magnificent obsession of the public and the press. Every lurid detail of the love affair — some factual, many fictional — found space in newspapers in the pre-privacy era and was gleefully lapped up by the gossip-hungry public. Was it suicide or murder by poison? All doors were shut from inside, but was a third person around? Was Gul just a socialite, or a spy/smuggler in cover? Everyone had an opinion and a theory on the case. The more bizarre, the better.
