KARACHI: Police have constituted a special investigation team to arrest those involved in the killing of Inspector Javed Abro who was shot dead in Karachi's Steel Town area.

SSP Malir Dr Abdul Khaliq issued an official order establishing the team to oversee the investigation and pursue the suspects. According to the notification, investigators will provide daily updates on the progress of the case.

Police sources said investigators had also prepared a route map to trace the suspects believed to be involved in the murder. Several CCTV recordings have reportedly been obtained and are being examined as part of the ongoing investigation.

Investigators are also looking into a possible connection between Inspector Abro’s killing and the earlier murder of his brother.

According to sources, police suspect that members of the same group may have been involved in the killing of the inspector’s brother in the past. Initial findings have reportedly indicated possible links between the two incidents although further investigation is underway to establish the connection.

The investigation team is reviewing the available footage and other evidence to identify those responsible and determine their movements.

The development comes after Sindh Inspector General of Police pledged that those behind the officer’s killing would not be allowed to escape accountability.
