The police arrested Abdullah Umar on June 12 from Quaid-i-Azam International Hospital, Islamabad. According to the police challan Umar was among the Ali’s assassins.

The same court also took up the Shahbaz Bhatti murder case but deferred the proceedings as the police had yet to file complete challan in the case.
