Karachi: Rangers have arrested over 1000 people during search operations in different parts of Karachi “the largest city of Pakistan” including Federal B Area, Baldia Town, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, and Banaras area of SITE Town and seized a heavy cache of weapons and ammunition.
Ranger’s sources said that the targeted operation was conducted on the base of intelligence information particularly in “Ranghar Muhallah” area of Baldia Town number seven, Pehlwan Goth area of Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Yousuf Plaza area of Federal B Area and other parts of the city.
“The latest operation is the part of surgical operation being conducted by the rangers after giving police power since last few days” a senior ranger’s official requesting anonymity told The News Tribe.
He said that many of the detainees have been freed after initial investigation while the rangers have also arrested suspected criminals involved in target killings, extortion and other heinous crimes.
Sources also revealed that the rangers achieved major achievements from Ranghar Muhallah in Baldia Town and Yousuf Plaza area, a heavy cache of weapons including heavy guns including Kalashnikovs, repeater guns, and over 3000 ammunitions and CCTV cameras. In an early morning search operation in Yousuf Plaza, more than 12 people were arrested and a torture cell found where tools supposed to be using for torture were also recovered.
The search operation in these areas caused inconvenience to the residents, who were restricted to their homes as there was no female security personnel which caused angriness among women and residents of the area.
The raids began on the night between August 23 and 24 and continue. According to police statistics, about 29 target killers and another 653 suspects were apprehended and 167 weapons were seized in the 985 raids from August 23 to September 4.
The police and Rangers along with 500 FC personnel have been deployed across the city in order to curb the spate of killings in the metropolis and regain normalcy.
