KARACHI:
A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered against Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Mullah Fazlullah and spokesperson Shahidullah Shahid in the murder case of SP CID Chaudhry Aslam, reported Express News on Saturday.
They have been charged with murder and terrorism.
The FIR has been lodged in PIB Colony police station and investigation is still in its early stages.
Chaudhry Aslam was killed in a bomb blast on Thursday and shortly afterwards the TTP claimed responsibility for it. Three other police officers also died in the attack.
Earlier, it was reported that an FIR was filed against "unidentified people" under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
Background
Earlier on Saturday, it was reported that the suspected suicide bomber, who allegedly rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into slain Aslam’s Vigo, has been identified as Naeemullah, the son of a prayer leader.
Some body parts allegedly of a suspected attacker were found at the bomb site on Friday and sent to the National Database and Registration Authority for identification.
“[We are] 98% sure that a suicide bomber hit the explosives-laden Suzuki cargo van with Aslam’s Vigo,” Crime Investigation Department (CID) DIG Zafar Bukhari told The Express Tribune.
Police officials earlier also insisted that the investigation is only in its initial stages and things could change.
