After the attack on Express News anchor Raza Rumi, Inspector General Police Punjab Khan Baig said that the police provided security where they deemed it necessary.
Talking to Express News anchorperson Imran Khan, the provincial police chief called it a targeted attack – but insisted that Raza Rumi was not on any hit-list.
Khan Baig said it was premature to hold anyone responsible and that agencies followed up on every attack. He, however, disconnected the live call when the anchorperson asked him how many people on [terrorists’] hit-lists were provided security.
