It may be recalled that on November 15, under Bajpe Police limits, a gang had attempted to murder Abdul Azeez near Kandavar mosque. Later, when Abdul Azeez was admitted in the private hospital, his relative Makdoom and Naushad were standing at the premises of the hospital, assuming it was Makdoom, the gang attacked Naushad at the hospital entrance.
Certain financial issue is the reason behind the murder attempt, said police sources. With the help of Nizamuddin, Safwan Hussain and Basith who are abroad, the arrested gang executed the plan.
There were financial disputes between Makdoom and Nizam which remained unsettled. Nizammudin contacted accused Jabbar from Maripalla. Jabbar with the help of associates Nizamuddin, Safwan Hussain and Basith, executed the plan. Many more arrests are yet to be made in the case, informed police sources.
The gang also collected details about the day-to-day movements of victim Abdul Azeez and his relative Makdoom and informed the gang who are abroad.
After the gang attacked Abdul Azeez near the mosque, Makdoom showed negligence in the financial issue. Hence, the second murder attempt took place near the hospital.

Safwan Hussain, who has 26 cases against him, has escaped abroad. Basith has five cases and Nizamuddin has a case registered against him at Panambur police station.
