KARACHI: A man who wanted to meet prominent religious scholar and Vice President Darul Uloom Korangi, Karachi, Mufti Taqi Usmani, was caught after a dagger was found in his possession during the early hours of Thursday morning at the seminary.
Police investigators did not find any concrete evidence that could suggest that it was a ‘preplanned terror attack’ but it seems that the suspect was suffering from psychological problems.
Police have taken his custody and initiated further investigations to ascertain the facts and the suspect’s motive. “He (suspect) came and asked me to talk privately. As I got close to him for a talk, suddenly, he brandished a knife but people surrounded me and timely caught him,” Mufti Taqi Usmani in an audio message confirmed the incident.
