The minister said that different departments including National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra), Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), and Islamabad police were probing into the matter.
Sheikh Rasheed is certain that the fingerprints of the suspects would be identified in a couple of days while adding that the related institutions would publish advertisements in the newspapers if the assaulters are not traced in the given time.
He told that the people who attacked Asad Toor had previously been to the journalist’s apartment which was the reason they were not stopped on the reception.
Interior minister said successful tracing of suspects would silence those who blame agencies.
Further, the journalist Asad Ali Toor also shared a statement from the minister’s presser.
Nadra was conducting a fingerprint analysis the results of which would be out soon. “Otherwise we will give ads in the newspapers with the photos of the three suspects because some people are accusing our agencies according to a specific agenda.” https://t.co/g3IkIq0Kkr
