The law enforcement agencies on Tuesday arrested a suspect named Shahzad Mullah for involvement in Amjad Sabri murder case.
Shahzad Mullah was taken into custody from the city area of Gulistan-e-Jauhar and shifted to undisclosed location for interrogations.
The detained suspect was also being interrogated about target killing incidents in the city.
Sources indicate that Mullah was the sector in-charge of a political party and was given the task of murdering Sabri by an important person of the party.
Sources state that the element of extortion may be involved in the murder case.
The data related to the suspect’s cell phone has also been retrieved.
Various investigative teams of the police and Rangers have been carrying out the investigation of Amjad Sabri’s murder.
Earlier, the Sindh High Court on Monday issued notices to advocate general Sindh, IG Sindh and others on a petition against ‘illegal detention’ of a man involved in the Amjad Sabri murder case.
The family of Imran Mehmood Siddiqui had challenged the detention of Imran by the personnel of law enforcement agencies. They submitted that Imran was taken into custody by personnel of law enforcement agencies and as per media reports, he was shown arrested in the Amjad Sabri murder case.
However, they said that neither the police were producing him in court nor his whereabouts were being disclosed. They sought production of the detainee and requested the court to provide details of cases, if any, against them.
