In his statement to the police, Baloch's father Mohammad Ali said that the MQM leader had been sending threats for a some time now.
He claimed it was on orders from Gabol that four armed men gunned his son down earlier this week.
Senior Superintendent Police stated that the case had been registered against Nabil Gabol and four unknown armed men on motorcycles, as per Mohammad Ali's wish.
Background
Four armed men on two motorcycles gunned down Baloch and another worker, Muhammad Ali, who were also on motorcycles. Two other friends of Baloch’s, driving another motorcycle behind them, were injured in the firing.
The incident took place at Bizenjo Chowk, Lyari, which is a Peoples Amn Committee stronghold. The PAC had been banned on terrorism charges in October 2011 by the Sindh government.
Baloch had helped in forming the party in 2008 with its founder, notorious gangster Rehman Dakait. The latter was killed in an alleged encounter a year later.

@Ali Ahmed, yeah why not? They shouldn't be exclusive when the matter of law and order is concerned but unfortunately I have to agree with you. Thousands of Baloch are abducted and killed by the high authorities from Islamabad and Rawalpindi and despite having proof the supreme court is powerless. I hope one day the supremacy of law applies to Pakistan as well
@ zuhair and@Baluch...if any body nominate C.M.,PM or IG. as a killer will the police register the case against them and we know how police work in pakistan..
@ali ahmed: For god sake being nominated in FIR does not require investigation. It is routine day practise. Get a life
Every illegitimate move is legitimate if the opponent is MQM.It has become the fashion of the day blame MQM,if any thing happens to any one.
This will help MQM prove its position on current and previous operations as being MQM targeted.
@Ali Ahmed, that is how the process works, you register a case and followed by investigation.
looks like a fabrication to entangle Nabil.
Print and electronic media plus police reports already pointed fingers towards internal rift in PAC blaming Nabil Gabol is like naming Zardari for 9/11 Anyone who knows Karachi and lyari can't even believe anyone can go Bizinjo chock kill Zafar Baloch and come back safely
@ali ahmed: same as nadeem hashmi was arrested
But he should be investigated if he is a suspect.
Nabeel gabol is not Nadeem hashmi who can be arrested on a phone call. He is powerful person.
Haha. How Skeptical. After MQM's Nadeem Hashmi, Nabil Gabol another innocecnt MQM'er to be targetted. This clearly goes to show how Politicized and launched FIR, which is OKAY, but to nominate someone behind it. AMAZING. Especially a person who can't even enter the area. Absolutely Hysterical.
WOW ! 2 hours passed since this news posted and no comments from any1??? !!! is MQM so scary for everyone to comment about?
False flag operation is common these days in Karachi...
how can police registered case against him without investigation..
