In a video message posted on his Twitter account, the minister said the law enforcement agencies had done a splendid job, adding that police would reach those suspects in “one or two days”.
On the other hand, Special Investigation Team of Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) has arrested two suspects in connection to investigation of previous day’s blast in provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Seven shells of 9MM pistol have been collected from the place of the incident while police have also recorded statements of the injured.
