CTD Files FIR After Islamabad Court Suicide Blast as Probe Traces Bomber’s Route

Responsibility remains disputed after a brief TTP claim was retracted.

Overview

  • The Counter Terrorism Department registered FIR No. 10/25 under the Anti-Terrorism Act and handed collected evidence to forensic teams.
  • Investigators say the attacker arrived via an online motorcycle ride for Rs200; the rider has been arrested as Safe City CCTV traces the route toward Golra.
  • Officials report 12 people were killed, and hospitals say 13 injured remain under treatment, including one in critical condition, after post-mortems and handovers to families.
  • Security has been tightened at the Islamabad High Court and in the Red Zone, with Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar inspecting gates and ordering additional police deployment.
  • Pakistani leaders allege Afghan-based militants and Indian proxies, India rejects the accusation, and TTP statements have been contradictory.
