Probably the aircraft i.e. Airbus A310-308 (AP-BEQ) needed rectification of some technical problem to be performed at PIA Engineering base in Karachi.

Apparently AP-BEQ was unable to resume flight PK-898 after diverting to Karachi. Her sistership i.e. Airbus A310-324ET registration AP-BGP departed from Karachi at 6:36 PM as flight PK-898 to Kuala Lumpur.
