KARACHI: Additional Inspector General (AIG) Karachi Ghulam Nabi Memon today (Thursday) formed a six-member police committee to probe the murder of Zain Ali Effendi, a grandson of Hassan Ali Effendi.
According to details, a six-member team will be headed by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) District East Sajid Ameer. The notification, issued in this regard, stated that the investigation team can seek help from any police department or officer.
Zain Ali Effendi, a grandson of Hassan Ali Effendi, the founder of Karachi’s Sindh Madrasatul Islam, was murdered yesterday by five armed men at his residence near Mazar-e-Quaid.
It was reported earlier that unknown armed men had entered residence of Zain Ali Effendi in the wee hours of Wednesday and shot him dead. The armed men had arrived in a white Corolla car, the police further said.
Police and the counter-terrorism department personnel yesterday visited the crime scene to assess the situation prima facie. The police told media that they were probing whether it was a result of random robbery bid or a targeted attack.
The suspects in the case have only taken a mobile phone, wallet, and few jewelry items from the deceased, said the police. “They had tied a servant in home with rope and pumped three bullets in the face of the victim,” according to police.
