The Sindh government has set up separate joint investigation teams (JITs) on the murder case of qawwal Amjad Sabri and kidnapping of the Sindh High Court chief justice’s son Advocate Owais Ali Shah.
Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah gave a go-ahead for constituting the two JITs, comprising representatives of intelligence agencies, Rangers and police, said a spokesperson of the Chief Minister House.
The JITs have been formed after the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and police in Karachi could not find possible leads into the two recent high-profile cases.
It has also been decided that inmates held in prisons would be taken into the fold of the JIT investigation, the spokesperson added.
Director General Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) Major General Bilal Akbar and Inspector General of Sindh police A.D.
