The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has formed a team to investigate the brutal murder of 19 people belonging to Shia community in Babusar. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ilyas Khan will lead the investigation team, which is seeking the record of various criminals involved in extremist activities from prisons in Gilgit-Baltistan Mansehra and Peshawar. An official from the probe team told foreign media that at least six suspects of the attack on Shias had been shifted to an undisclosed location for interrogation. He further said that the two persons who had attacked the Shias’ vehicles in Chilas had also been shifted with the suspects. Meanwhile, KP Governor Barrister Masood Kausar said that the entire nation had been deeply shocked by the killing of innocent Shia passengers. Talking to Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Minister Mehdi Shah on telephone, the KP governor called the incident the “worst type of inhuman act of terrorism.” He said the joyous occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr would be overshadowed by the tragic incident.
