KARACHI (Web Desk) – A case has been registered against ‘unknown people’ regarding yesterday’s bomb blast in Delhi Colony of Defence area, Dunya News reported.

The case was registered under anti-terrorism act on government’s complaint.

Meanwhile, the police have arrested 43 suspects during search operation in Delhi Colony and adjoining areas.

The suspects have been shifted to undisclosed location for interrogation.

At least four people including a woman were killed and 33 others got injured in Friday’s bombing outside a mosque in Defence area.

According police, a bomb weighing ten kilograms was planted in a rickshaw.

The attack took place a day after a bomb targeting prominent police officer Shafiq Tanoli exploded in another area of Karachi, killing the officer and three others. The slain officer, who had survived several attempts on his life, was targeted for his active campaigning against terrorists.

No one claimed responsibility of the attacks, but the bombings were the latest in a series of violence as the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif tries to reach a peace deal with the Tehreek-e-Taliban to end the insurgency that has killed thousands of people in recent years.
