KARACHI: The administrative judge of the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Saturday sent the alleged facilitator in Karachi University suicide attack to jail on judicial remand.

The police produced Dad Bakhsh, a suspect in the bombing case, before the administrative judge of the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC). The police told the court that investigation from the accused not yet completed.

According to police, the suspect has been Karachi commander of the outlawed outfits the BLA and BLF. “He is the mastermind of the suicide attack on Chinese teachers in Karachi University,” the police claimed.

“The accused was also facilitating attacks on Chinese nationals in Karachi,” police said.

The court, however, sent the accused to jail on judicial remand and directed the investigation officer to submit the case challan in the next hearing.

The blast was carried out by a female suicide bomber of a banned terror outfit.
