CTD official Raja Umer Khattab told Dawn that a prosecution witness had identified the held suspect, Dad Bux, during an identification parade held before a court.

He added that on his lead, the CTD conducted a search at his home in Niharo Goth in Gulshan-i-Iqbal where ‘extremely important evidence’ were collected.

Besides, two grenades and other equipment were also seized for which a separate case had been registered against him.
