Police have arrested the main accused in the Tania Khaskheli murder case on Monday. Sources said the primary accused, Khan Nohani, was arrested after a raid in Dureji area of Balochistan. He was reportedly hiding in the house of a relative of the local MNA. Last week, Khan, a local landlord of Jhangara Bajara town of Sehwan, along with his associates, allegedly shot dead Tania, a class-10 student, in her house after her family refused to marry off their daughter to Khan.

Jamshoro police had earlier arrested one of his associates, Maula Bux Nohani, during a raid in Sehwan. After the incident was reported in the media, the local SHO was suspended on the orders of the chief minister for failing to arrest the culprits.
