Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Friday said law enforcement agencies were busy in investigating the murder of the wife and daughter of Balochistan MPA Mir Bakhtiar Domki from various angles, adding that a third party might have committed the crime to create law and order in the province.
Speaking in the Senate, Malik called the killings a very sensitive issue as the incident could be given a political touch. He said a committee comprising two MPAs from Balochistan and Sindh assemblies each had been formed to probe into the matter.
The family of the Balochistan MPA was shot dead near Gizri flyover early on Tuesday. The deceased were also the sister and niece of Baloch Republican Party (BRP) leader Baramdagh Bugti.
Malik told the House that the accused in the PIC deaths had been put on the ECL.
