Karachi Operation | News, Updates and analysis.

No society can be deweaponised, as weapons are part and parcel of human history. Only thing is to effectively control use of weapon and to keep a close check on what is happening. Yes armed guards should not be allowed as it creates an atmosphere of terror.

Karachi should be deweaponised from illegal weapon, which is the main cause of all this lawlessness. Responsible citizens should be allowed to keep weapons for personal defence and sports purposes. However, display of arms should not be allowed.

100000000% wrong. Those licenses should be canceled and so such other licenses issued through political influence. Weapon licenses should only be issued to people after verification of their character and ensuring their ability to responsibly handle the weapon.

Rangers, police arrest 115 suspects from Karachi in targeted operation

KARACHI, (SANA): Rangers and police arrested as many as 115 suspects during targeted operations conducted in different areas of the city on Saturday.

According to Rangers and police officials, the operation was conducted in Dhani Bux Goth, Surjani Town, Merowel, Hussain Hazara Goth, Afghan Camp, Jamshed Quarters and Machhar Colony.

Weapons, looted money, mobile phones, high-roof, motorcycles and drugs were also recovered from the arrested suspects.

According to the police, during a snap checking near Karachi Arts Council, the police randomly ordered a car to halt to seek identification of the passengers and the registration of the vehicle. Upon this the driver tried to break through the picket but was forced to bring the car to a screeching halt after seeing so many government guns pointing at him.

According to police it appeared that the occupants of the car also tried to put up an armed resistance but later decided otherwise. Allegedly they surrendered after a brief encounter.

Subsequent interrogation revealed that three of the four travelers were kidnappers, while the fourth one was an abductee, a manager of a local commercial bank, who they were moving to another place.
The arms laid down by the kidnappers and the car they were driving have been impounded. The abducted bank manager was unhurt during the standoff.

According to details the kidnappers had so far hooked Rs 600,000 as ransom from the banker’s family while they were demanding another Rs1.5 million for setting the snatched man free.

Another six of their accomplices were also copped later from Lasbela after the investigators succeeded in cracking the held kidnappers.
Moreover, the police, in Nazimabad No.3, booked two alleged outlaws who also surrendered firearms.

On the other hand Rangers extended their targeted-operation to Gulisan-e-Jauhar and North Karachi, which yielded around 12 suspects. The suspects have been shifted to the undisclosed location.

ISLAMABAD: While top law enforcement agencies (LEA) officials in Karachi say a majority of the top target killers and extortionists have temporarily fled from Karachi — mostly to South Africa, Singapore and other areas in the country — during the last five days, the Rangers have killed one alleged TTP terrorist, arrested two target killers allegedly affiliated to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, two terrorists of the TTP, three alleged extortionists of the ANP and one of the PML-F.

From September 15 to 18, 69 criminals were arrested, 58 weapons and 568 pieces of ammunition were recovered by the Rangers.

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has said that first round of the Karachi operation is about to end after which more intense second and third rounds would be carried out.

Top LEAs officials wonder about benefits of the second and third rounds when a majority of heinous criminals have left Karachi. According to them, no new rounds would yield any satisfactory results until the federal government will not plane to arrest these criminals from other parts of the country and will not seek Interpol help to arrest notorious target killers who have escaped to South Africa and are hiding there.

According to many findings of JITs comprising seven top agencies of the country, top target killers and their operators used to give commands from South Africa, but even the new PML-N government has not taken any step to apprehend these killers hiding there some of whom are killing around a dozen innocent Pakistanis every day.

Top officials confirmed to The News that according to documents presented in the Supreme Court, one Agha Murtaza, a top MQM-Altaf operator, had allegedly ordered the killing of Geo News reporter Wali Khan Babar from South Africa.

Former Prime Ministers Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and Mir Hazar Khan Khoso, keen not to hurt relations with the main political force of Karachi, took no step to arrest Agha Murtaza and the same is the situation of the present government. Officials says Agha Murtaza and some other top controllers of Karachi target killers openly operate from South Africa and apprehending them is not a big deal.

KARACHI:
An internal Sindh police investigation report has identified 49 policemen involved in the operations of 115 narcotics and gambling dens, which fall within the limits of 89 police stations in Karachi.
“When it comes to shutting down the dens in the city, we often hear excuses from our juniors of facing ‘resistance’ in certain areas, but it is all a drama by the corrupt individuals who are involved themselves,” said the recently appointed chief of district East and Malir police, Munir Shaikh, while talking to The Express Tribune. “This so-called resistance is another name for covering the police officials’ own involvement in unlawful activities. These excuses are narrated before the senior police officials so that action isn’t taken to shut down the illegal dens.”
According to DIG Shaikh, he has directed the relevant officials to stop these activities and warned them of strict action if they fail to do so.
The lists of the officials pinpointed for their involvement have been sent to all the zonal police chiefs and they have been asked to direct the divisional superintendents, deputy superintendents, station house officers and head muharrirs working under their command to take action against these dens and send a certificate acknowledging that no such den was operating in their area.
Singled out
According to a copy of the report obtained by The Express Tribune, narcotic dens along with a few gambling dens have been specifically singled out. The report, which was issued on the directives of the Sindh IG, reveals that at least 115 dens (gambling and narcotics) are operating in Karachi with the connivance of police officials – majority of the dens, 39, are running in district South, followed by 29 dens in district Malir, 28 in district East and 19 in Central district.
Of the 49 policemen found involved in running these dens, 33 are police constables, eight are head constables, five are ASIs and three are SIPs. Besides the policemen, around eight “private persons” have also been named in the report for their involvement.
The dens, according to the report, were dealing in multiple narcotics, including hashish, heroin, wine, afyon, gurda, and kuppi. Few of them are also involved in Irani oil business.
At least 100 dens alone were operational in Lyari and multiple others in Ghas Mandi.
‘Seniors also involved’
“These lists prove that all such activities in the city cannot be run without the support of the police,” said a senior police official privy to the matter. “But the problem remains that even if you arrest and punish the officials involved, there will always be more who will join such activities.”
Another problem identified by the officials was the sensitive areas these dens come under. No-go areas, such as Lyari, Sohrab Goth, Landhi and Manghopir, house a large number of such dens but they are also home to terrorists, such as the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, and Lyari gangsters. “How can we close dens in these areas? Everyone, including our high-ups, knows that there will be bloodshed if we take action in these areas,” said a police inspector serving in a no-go area. Who can go there to stop these dens,” said inspector rank officer serving in one of these no-go areas.
On the other hand, the officials who have been named expressed their reservations over the lists, saying that the entire department was involved in these corrupt practices. “Do you really think that we could help run these dens without a nod from our seniors and without sharing money with them?” questioned one of the accused policemen. “The juniors are easy scapegoats – we are punished and shown to be guilty but for the sake of fairness, action should be taken across the board.” According to him, apart from the police, politicians and government officials were also involved in the operation of such dens.
