RAWALPINDI: The alleged serial attackers, who are in the custody of the police for one week, being accused of injuring women with daggers, have not been declared arrested so far for want of evidence. Even a nurse from the Fauji Foundation Hospital who was injured in a dagger attack has refused to recognise the detained culprit. Police have also decided to arrange the examination of a detained person from a psychiatrist, on the suspicion of his being a psycho case. Sources said that one Muhammad Ali, 22, was taken into custody by the police along with other 18 suspects during a search operation on the night of August 9. The residents of the area overpowered and handed over to the police one Jamal, son of Essa Khan, resident of Charsada on Adiala road, in the jurisdiction of Police Station Sadar Bairooni, for allegedly attacking Zahida, wife of Aslam. He was paraded before the woman affected in the dagger attacks but the police could not achieve any success. Later the accused was subjected to massive investigation by the special investigation unit, the counter terrorism department and the homicide investigation unit. But all these processes remained non productive, therefore, the police have not arrested anyone formally so far. About the detainee, Muhammad Ali, 22, it was told to Daily Times that he belonged to the area of Nara Matore from Kahuta, while he was residing in the area of Moregah, and was doing a computer course. Muhammad Ali had undergone an appendicitis operation on August, 3 and a day before the murder of the nurse his stitches were removed. Regarding the other accused Jamal, it is said that he is a chicken seller and runs a chicken shop in Mabrik lane. He was sharpening his knife near his shop when a lady raised a hue and cry and the passers-by caught him and handed him over to the police. The family members of Muhammad Ali said that the police wanted him to confess the crime by force by subjecting him to torture. Police sources on the other side are negating the reports about the arrest or detention of these two suspects. According to the police they have come to know through the media that the police had taken the two suspected persons into their custody.
