SSP CID Chaudhry Aslam Khan Martyred

According to reports, SSP CID Chaudhry Aslam Khan was martyred in a targeted attack when an explosion took place in Karachi on Thursday.

The news was confirmed by Additional Inspector-General, Iqbal Mehmood, according to whom the blast, which happened in Essa Nagri, near the Lyari Expressway in Karachi, claimed the life of SSP CID Chaudhry Aslam Khan.

The attack took place around 4:40 PM and according to initial television reports, the number of casualties were three along with several injured. However, there are no confirmed reports regarding the number of deaths from the blast.

Police and rescue teams reportedly rushed to the scene of the attack and the area was cordoned off by law enforcement in order to further investigate.

The Mohmand agency group of the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militant outfit has claimed responsibility of the attack according to Dawn News.

Television footage shows that the blast was powerful enough to completely destroy the SSP’s bullet-proof vehicle.

As soon as news of the attack spread, several politicians and officials have given condolence messages, including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

“SSP Chaudhry Aslam was a brave officer. We will not let the will of the nation be crushed by these cowardly acts by terrorists,” said the Prime Minister.
