DERA GHAZI KHAN: After nine months of a suicide attack on the general bus stand, the police arrested a former Taunsa Sharif Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and his relative on Saturday night on charges of facilitating the mastermind in his visit to the Dhodak plant of the Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL).
The police arrested JI former Tehsil Ameer Dr Naseemullah Qaisrani from his residence at Taunsa Sharif and Asif Khan from the Dhodak plant when he was on duty. Asif Khan is an employee of the OGDCL.
According to the police, Naseemullah Qaisrani and Ghulam Mustafa Qaisrani befriended during the Haj last year. Asif Khan had allegedly arranged a visit of alleged mastermind Ghulam Mustafa Qaisrani to the Dhodak plant before a suicide attack at the general bus stand on February 5, which left 28 people dead and over 50 injured.
The police had arrested Ghulam Mustafa Qaisrani in the last week of February and another accused, Qari Ismail Khalool, in the first week of March after the incident. The case is under trial in an anti-terrorism court. The families of both accused, Dr Naseemullah and Asif Khan, denied their involvement in any terrorist activity.
