Malik Tuesday told the National Assembly that the culprits involved in the killing would be arrested soon. He said the 11 accused had already been apprehended, reported Associated Press of Pakistan.

According to the minister, the murder of the Hindu doctors was not target killing but the result of personal enmity between two rival groups.
