Karachi police chief denies making arrests in Amjad Sabri case

KARACHI: Karachi police chief Mushtaq Mehar said on Sunday that contrary to media reports and rumours, no arrests had been made in connection with the Amjad Sabri murder case.

Mehar further said that no arrests had been made related to the Amjad Sabri murder case and that with such rumours, efforts were being made to hinder the investigation.

He also disclosed that police had not revealed any suspect's picture who had been arrested in relation to the case. Mehar said that police had taken into custody several suspects on charges of Sabri's murder but after no evidence was found, all suspects had been released.

Mushtaq Mehar said that Amjad Sabri's murder case was a high profile one. False media reports could hinder the investigation of the case and deter law enforcement personnel from doing their job.

Amjad Sabri was a renowned Pakistani qawwal who was shot dead in Karachi's Liaquatabad area on June 22, 2016. Ever since then police have been on the hunt for the armed assailants who came on a motorbike and gunned down Amjad Sabri.
