KARACHI: After being released from the Karachi jail on Jan 25, 2013, Ajmal Pahari was arrested again on Wednesday over implication in four new murder cases, DawnNews reported.

Joharabad police revealed Pahari's arrest, saying that he was arrested for being suspected of involvement in four new murder cases.
