QUETTA CCPO Quetta Shabbir Sheikh said on Thursday that the only effective way to deal with target killings is by targeting the perpetrators.

He said those people who were sending the dead bodies of innocent people, should be taught a lesson by receiving dead bodies of people from their own group.

Speaking to the media, Sheikh said that 10 groups were involved in target killing incidents in Quetta. He also said that kidnappings for ransom were on the rise in the city and 50 groups were involved in this crime. 

Sheikh said that arrests had been made in regards to target killings and investigations were currently underway.
