Police said that three members of Sipah-e-Sahaba had confessed that they planned to attack Darbar Khaki Shah in Chak 48 with hand grenades and to kill Shia's gurus. | “Noor Muhammad initially took out a grenade and threatened to blow it up in the van, but police overpowered him. Noor was carrying two hand grenades, one 30-bore pistol, a dagger and 65 bullets.” |
He said that all suspects belonged to Hafizabad. The DPO said that the suspects were planning to kill Pir Mustahsab Hussain Shah of Darbar Khaki Shah because he had used derogatory language about the companions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
