    Amjad Sabri murder: Police interrogates witness Saleem Chanda Amjad Sabri murder: Police interrogates witness Saleem Chanda

    Central zone investigation police on Saturday interrogated Saleem Chanda who sat next to Amjad Sabri in his car when the unidentified gunmen opened fire killing the renowned qawwali singer.

    Chanda was brought to Sabri’s residence for identification purposes earlier in the day. The witness told police officials that he was sitting next to Sabri when the gunmen opened fire. He stated that the windscreen of the car broke because of the intense firing, adding that he got injured after coming in contact with shattered glass.

    He said that he hid underneath the car’s seat as he became petrified as a result of the firing, further stating that he attempted to shift Amjad Sabri to the hospital after the attack.

    Police officials state that Sabri’s widow’s statement would be crucial regarding the investigation of the case as she can tell whether he was receiving threats or not. However, Sabri’s widow is yet not stable to give a statement; her statement shall be recorded after her condition improves, police officials say.

    Moreover, Gulberg police station shall now be probing into the murder of Amjad Sabri’s instead of Sharifabad police station whereas Mohsin Zaidi shall be leading the investigation instead of Khurshid Ahmad.

    Zaidi previously was involved in the investigation of the case related to Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Amir Khan. He also investigated Karachi University’s (KU) Professor Wahid-ur-Rehman’s murder case.
