The police on Monday formed a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to investigate the killing of Karachi University assistant professor Dr Waheed-ur Rehman.
Dr Rehman, 42, an assistant professor at KU’s mass communication department and a journalist, was shot dead on April 29, 2015 by masked gunmen near his residence in Karachi’s Federal B Area.

Giving in to their demands, police issued a notification today announcing the formation of the JIT.
The investigation team, which will also include member from the country’s intelligence agencies, is tasked to complete its investigation in seven days and to submit its report within two days of completing the probe.
