UTP SCAPE: Tando Adam police on Friday picked up several members of Jatoi tribe over murder of an under trial prisoner, who was killed a day ago by his rivals in court premises in the presence of police.

The deceased was facing trial for a murder, which took place about two months ago in Qaiser Ghot village near Tando Adam.

Tando Adam police have registered a case on a complaint lodged by Imam Din and nominated Vengus Jatoi, Nazir, Nasrullah and Iqbal.
