Police detained four men on Thursday for their suspected involvement in the killing of Zain Ali Effendi, grandson of Sindh Madressatul Islam founder Hassan Ali Effendi.
Investigators said the suspects, all of Afghan origin, were taken into custody during raids in various parts of the city. The four were said to have been involved in burglaries in the past. The police will get their fingerprints verified from the fingerprints obtained from the house of Effendi, son of Zulfiqar Effendi.

The late-night tragic incident took place at Effendiâs house, located near Peoples Chowrangi, close to the Quaid-e-Azamâs mausoleum within the jurisdiction of the Jamshed Quarters Police Station, where a group of robbers barged into the house and killed Effendi when he resisted their robbery bid. According to police, the robbers escaped along with the looted valuables.
