This is not the first time SSP Rao has been attacked. In April 2012, when he was making his way to the Malir court for, a suicide bomber hit his APC. The attack left five people dead and injured 18 others, but SSP Rao survived.

Imagine being him. Some guts he has got for still speaking out and exposing terrorists links.

MQM and Taliban are responsible for any terrorism in Karachi.

Karachi Police is very professional compared to rest of Sindh, you can't take them down that easy; especially after what they've been through, they must hate these political and religious militants who kill their comrades every day.
I once read of an encounter Sukkur police had with a gang of thieves, 5 cops dead, 2 thieves dead.....
Thankfully Karachi can handle these pieces of living crap. I wish Karachi Police all the best to take down these piece of living shit.
