The city police on Wednesday took another six persons into custody, in connection with the attack on MLA Tanveer Sait.
While the prime accused who attacked Sait with a machete, Farhaan Pasha is in police custody, five accused are in judicial custody. Police took another six persons into custody and are interrogating them.
Police suspect that the incident was pre-planned, but the accused were not well-prepared. Following the suspension of Sait’s gunman Fairoz Khan, on Tuesday, the city police have provided round-the-clock security to the MLA.
