According to the details, at least three criminals — Sarmad Siddique, Nadeem and Asif Zaheer — have already been arrested, Khyber News reported.

The Sindh interior department has requested the court to hold the hearing of the case in jail, as the case is highly sensitive.

Earlier, on December 20, the ATC issued non-bailable arrest warrants against Fazlullah, spokesperson Shahidullah Shahid and nine others for storming the Karachi airport in June 2014.

On January 15, the court declared Fazlullah a proclaimed offender in the Karachi airport attack case.
