The CTD spokesperson stated that the accused was involved in attacks on Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl\u2019s Maulana Ghafoor Haideri, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam chief Sirajul Haq, and other acts of terrorism.<\/p>\n

The operation in which the key militant commander was killed was conducted on a tip-off, the spokesperson mentioned.<\/p>\n

He also stated that the accused was also involved in the killing of Hazara coal miners in March and other acts of terrorism in Balochistan.<\/p>\n

Mastung is considered as one of the most sensitive districts of Balochistan.

Security was beefed up in the area as well as its surroundings after the killing of the commander.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
