Railways Senior Superintendent Police (SP) Shahla Qureshi rejected Karachi police chief Ameer Sheikh’s claim that arms and ammunition used in an attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi last year were brought to the metropolis via train. In a talk with media, she stated that weapons were shifted through buses and coaches and not train. “Our railway deputy SP had informed the authorities concerned.” Earlier, on January 11, the additional inspector general of police had said that arms and ammunition used by the attackers was brought through train. Three terrorists who stormed the consulate stayed in a house in Baldia Town along with their four facilitators, all of whom have been arrested, he added.
