Police claim to be close to arresting Amjad Sabri’s killers

Team of investigators looking into Amjad Sabri’s murder case, claim to be close to solving the mystery regarding who killed the sufi qawwal. The team of police officers looking into the case claim that they have made a major breahtrough in their probe as they have detained a close aide of the murdered qawwal for questioning on Saturday.

Police say they have detained a suspect with alleged links to Sabri’s killers. “We’ve made a major breakthrough in investigations. We will give good news soon,” a senior police official privy to investigations told reporters.

Another suspect, identified as Saleem Chanda, has also been detained by the police. According to reports, Sabri’s close aide, Chanda, was travelling with him on the day that he was killed, yet the killers did not shoot him. “Being a closed aide of Sabri, Chanda knew about all of his activities. The killers did not fire at him even though he was sitting next to Sabri,” said SHO Mohsin Zaidi. “Chanda might help investigators.”

Since Sabri was killed, the police have been on the hunt for his killers and all efforts have been directed at finding them. More than 100 suspects have been rounded up by police and Rangers for questioning in a citywide sweep.

Amjab Sabri was shot dead by two gunmen who ambushed his car on a motorcycle. They shot at him from the window of his car and also killed his driver. Sabri was shot in the Liaquatabad neighborhood of Karachi on Wednesday, when he was just a kilometer away from his home.

Sabri’s death has caused city-wide panic as acts of terrorism and target killing are making a comeback in the metropolis.
