KARACHI: Investigators have made headway in identifying culprits and their motive for the killing of the four policemen in Korangi on Wednesday, a senior police officer said, according to local media sources.

“Police have made a breakthrough in the case. The group involved in the quadruple murder has been identified and credible information has been gathered about them,” said Karachi East DIG Munir Ahmed Shaikh on Thursday.

The initial probe made so far indicated that a particular militant group was involved in the killing of the policemen of the Zaman Town police station, reportedly.

The forensic report of the weapon used in the quadruple murder confirmed that it was also used in the murder of Preedy SHO Ejaz Khwaja near Akhtar Colony and Syed Iqbal Mehdi who was gunned down on ‘sectarian ground’ in the jurisdiction of the same police station in recent past, said the official.
