Four policemen of the Shahra-e-Faisal police station are nominated in the case. Police, in a charge sheet submitted on March 24 for the Maqsood killing case, stated that ASI Tariq shot the deceased from a close range. The charge sheet further stated that Tariq shot two other people after dragging them out from a rickshaw, along with the deceased. Sheikh Muhammad, the father of the deceased, expressed reservations over the charge sheet. He demanded that the authorities present the CCTV video of the incident to the public. On April 4, Sindh Police included terrorism charges against suspects named in the Maqsood killing case.
