The arrests come after an attack on a police checkpoint in Sohrab Goth, where one officer, Yasir, was killed and another, Salman Abbas, was injured. Fitnatul Khawarij had claimed responsibility for the assault. DSP CTD Chaudhry Safdar revealed that the suspects were involved in multiple attacks on police forces.
