They're notorious and corrupt since day one. CTD is nothing different as many people think. They're just safarishi officers from Police into CTD.

They should be punished severely if proven but also punish them who let these criminals into the police. Also find out who else is involved..I don't think these three were working as a lone group rather they would having from some politicians basically Zardri and his appointed senior police officials.
