He said that there are reports that as a trustee of Bara Imam Bargah Juna Market Lyari, Qamar Allah Ditta had gone to meet Uzair Baloch to discuss the murders of Shia Muslim and his two sons who were targeted in Paan Mandi area in Lyari. He said that it seems that terrorists had infiltrated the People’s Amn Committee too.
