He said a new JIT was formed on directives of Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah but the investigation team hasn’t taken up the case.
The CM had earlier directed Home Secretary Qazi Shahid Pervez to constitute the JIT under Additional Inspector General Police Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) Sanaullah Abbasi and issue notification within an hour.
