"We have arrested three activists of Sipah-i-Muhammad (a shiite organisation), Mehdi Kanwar alias Shakir Hussain, Sakhawat Hussain and Nazim Hussain, who were wanted in many cases of sectarian-killings or having links with the sectarian killers", a police officer said.
He said, "We are not in a position at this moment to prove their involvement in major cases, however, after thorough interrogation it would be possible to expose them. If their involvement could not be proved with any sectarian case then they would be released."
