According to police, the suspect was identified as Rizwan, a well-known robber wanted in dozens of criminal cases. SSP Korangi Fida Hussain Janwari said that a pistol and bullets were recovered from the suspect. Police records show that more than two dozen cases were registered against him.
SSP Korangi stated that Rizwan was involved in the murder of a 12-year-old boy along with many other serious offenses. Several CCTV videos of his criminal activities were also available with the police.
