Yes, they have arrested Riaz Malik and Qayyum Raja
Pleas of Mahtreâs killers rejected

Killer freed after sentence 'cut'
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A man sentenced to life for the political murder of an Indian diplomat is due to be released on Wednesday after a High Court judge reconsidered the minimum period he must spend in prison.
Solicitors for Mohamed Riaz said he was "delighted" by the judge's decision to adopt a 16-year tariff - even though the prisoner has served almost all of the 20-year minimum sentence originally imposed.
The case is believed to be the first re-setting of a lifer's tariff under Government legislation introduced last year.
Riaz, then aged 22, was convicted of the murder of Ravindra Mahtre, Deputy High Commissioner for the Indian High Commission in Birmingham, in 1984
