KARACHI, Pakistan — A man who survived a massacre at a Christian charity and was tagged a suspect has been freed but remains under surveillance, police said Wednesday.
Robin Peeranditta, an office assistant at the Institute of Peace and Justice, was officially arrested Tuesday but released later the same evening, said a senior police official. Peeranditta has not been charged.
"He will remain under observation for some days to check who is coming to meet him," the Pakistani official said on condition of anonymity.
Peeranditta had been in police detention since eight of his colleagues were shot execution-style Sept. 25. Seven died, and the eighth lies in a coma in the hospital. Peeranditta was apparently beaten up but not shot.
