Karachi police finally arrest knifeman who attacked women

After almost three weeks of terror and fear, the knifeman who attacked women in Karachi has finally been arrested, according to the police. The police don’t have solid evidence yet whether the suspect is the same one who has been attacking women in Karachi, but so far they are claiming that he is.

According to the details provided, the suspect has been identified as Muhammad Waseem, and he was arrested from a shrine in Mandi Bahauddin. Police say that the suspect was allegedly involved in similar stabbing cases in Punjab as well.

Waseem was arrested by a special police team of the Karachi police led by District Korangi SSP Captain (retd) Haider Raza, who arrested him with the help of the Sahiwal police.

“I am going to share the good news that we have finally arrested Waseem,” confirmed SSP Raza while talking to local reporters. “But we have yet to officially initiate interrogations.
In an unofficial initial interrogation he denied his involvement,” revealed the police officer.

The officer said that Waseem will be brought to Karachi by road and the journey might take a few days.

“The Lahore police also suspect him of being involved in two similar recent incidents that occurred in Lahore,” the SSP said. “If the Lahore police do not book and arrest him in a case we will take him into custody bring him to Karachi immediately.”

The reason why the police suspect Waseem of being the Karachi knife-attacker is because of his involvement in over 200 similar cases in Chicha Watni and over 35 cases in his hometown of Sahiwal during the years 2013 and 2014.

According to experts, Waseem attacks people without any motive and he just derives pleasure from hurting others, showing traits of a psychopath.

Since September 25, 13 women have been injured in Karachi due to the these knife attacks.
