Sehwan blast investigations
Speaking with regard to Sehwan blast, he said two CTD teams are working on it and raids have been conducted in several parts of Sindh including Jamshoro and Shikarpur. "We have also interrogated suspects who were already under custody," Shahid said.
"The investigations held so far indicate that Hafeez Pandrani (Hafeez Brohi) network, which has also carried out terror activities in Sindh in the past, is also behind the bombing at Lal Shahbaz Qalandar's shrine in Sehwan," he said.
CTD officials say the group has its network spread up to Wadh, Mastung and other areas in Balochistan.
