Operation against Chotu Gang in Rajanpur

[third eye]

A semi jungle semi urban area. From where the police infiltrated it was a semi urban area

Good luck.

I would not like to go into things like organisation of such teams, their tactics of employment , their efficacy etc.

Suffice to say its a non starter.

I'm not really a jungle.. It's a weird place.. Sand,forests,3 rivers (cross crossing) .. Mountain ranges on one side This area borders Punjab,Sindh,KPK & Balochistan..




This only shows how useless our police force is..


Instead of bitchin Punjab govt should have let the army operate there and I'm sure a company or two would have cleared the area till noon... These are bunch of mother fukin daciots who were let off the hook by our inept police .. And now they have enough weapons to war a small war... From RPGs and Recoiless Rifkes to HMG.. These mofos are armed to the bone.. Last year some to crew covered these guys.. I was stunned to see them armed with heavy weapons smack in the middle of civilisation..

Most likely the local police are in bed with the criminals even in ISB you had Taji Khokar providing petrol and food to the capital police and this is a far flung area of Southern Punjab we are talking about.

Also as we have seen in some cases in Sindh, these dacoits would have the support of villagers....Robin Hood like characters protecting the villagers from their zalim jageerdars

This is the sort of stuff what was happening here in the past as well, despite two consecutive terms of PML-N.
Is it really a case of the government not knowing what to expect?

Despite evidence to the contrary, all is declared good and under control thanks to Rana Sanaullah and Sharif Brothers.
After all what harm could a few LeJ terrorists do to the people of Pakistan, if swapped with hostages?
Whats a little suicide attack here and there in the great political games of our beloved leaders?

In Jungle terrain ?

Kinda, its a diverse terrain; they have natural barriers which makes it VERY hard for military/police action; for example - their territory is surrounded by water. Not only that; but they have natural cover - which makes it difficult for recon and assaults.

Some disgruntled PMLn politicians now saying openly on TV, they been backed by local authorities and politicians. PMLn politicians.

More than 160 dacoits, miscreants copped in Rajanpur operation

RAJANPUR (Dunya News) – More than 160 dacoits and miscreants backed by terror outfits and anti-state elements have been copped so far in security operation in Kacha Jamal area, Dunya News reported Saturday.

Inspector General (IG) Mushtaq Sukhera visited the troubled area and reviewed the ongoing operation.

Reportedly, few extremists were caught in possession of Indian weapons. Members of notorious Chotu gang are among the felons fighting the security personnel.

The security troops are challenged as the criminals have advanced weaponry including six anti-aircraft guns, Indian-made Vikras automatic and machine guns.

However, 1,600 personnel belonging to Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), Rangers, army and Punjab Police have cleared around 70 percent Kacha area while more than 50 check posts have been established.

Law enforcement agencies have apprehended around a dozen of Indian agents in different operations recently from across the country.

The arrests were made on leaks given by Research and Analysis Wing’s (RAW) spy who was arrested from Balochistan around two weeks ago.

Nothing happened yet, they are holding 20 police officers on gunpoint. They are backed by some govt officials and politicians.

What if you were one of those hostages?

 

[Mrc]

What if you were one of those hostages?

Well ... i wont like it....

But probably understand it...

Rescue op is not going to be successfull...

They will kill the hostages any way on hearing first gunshot...

I see 2 options here...

Go all in..... forget about hostages for now... and hope for the best...

Withdraw..with humilation...

What is 3rd workable option ??

Actually there is 3rd possible option....

Ask them to surrender ...
Tell them u will flatten the area if they dont...
Make couple of high speed passes with fighters ... break the sound barier.... may be they will get intimidated and surrender...

If they dont ......well .... just keep media away

Sadly this has happened before....this hostage taking and lead to earlier failure of police op...

Definitely local police has a lot of collision with decoits and may be informing them of advances....

I dont agree with comments of Samaa news Commentators.

If the police angers the dacoits, they will kill the hostages in retaliation.

M-113 and BTR-70 are amphibious and so is Al-Talha, all operated by PA as well as Police. There were around 30 or so PT-76 which may be sitting in reserve and they are amphibious also.
The problem could be that dacoits are armed with RPG and can easily target the APC while it swims (fords). Secondly, even if its a marshy area, the need for ATV is imminent. Hovercrafts by PN are not even being used. Its disappointing to see that PA is ranked in top Armies of the world and doesnt have a suitable transport solution for marshy/muddy area. What i feel is that Govt and PA are not on the same page on this ops, they must settle their differences and work as one.

Punjab Police does have transport helicopters , but they must be on VIP duty. If police is serious about rescuing hostages then use their own helis and start inserting their elite police troops. PA is just watching this ops from one side. PAF and PN are quiet.

according to this they are saying that they will surrender to army. they are decoits and not terrorists. its the treatment and corruption of local police which changed them into decoits....


I would be surprised if that is not true

Noora in dire waters here. Total disarray. The leader of the pack has left the house for London. Everywhere you look there is trouble looming. Now the pathetic chootu gang is calling the shots. A government that is day by day clueless on how to bring back calm in the face of a hellish storm.
