Sait attack: Another six in custody

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.
