KARACHI (Dunya News) – Police late night Thursday intensified action against criminal elements in the city. Suspects clashed with the police at Shahrah-e-Faisal, Karachi. Two suspects were arrested in injured condition after the ensuing gun battle.
Meanwhile, a 12 year old kidnapped child was also rescued after clash with suspects in Lyari Kalri area.
On the other hand, police also took 7 individuals of the corruption mafia into custody during a raid in Civil hospital.
Fight against lawlessness that prevailed in the city of Karachi intensified after an operation was started in the city by the Rangers nearly two years ago. Target killings, extortion cases and killings have reduced as the hunt for felons continues.
In a performance report released by the Rangers earlier this year, the law enforcement agency stated that 10,353 suspects had been arrested while 7,312 weapons and 34, 8978 rounds of ammunition were recovered. Out of these suspects, 4,950 suspects were prosecuted for crimes.
The report also claims that 826 terrorists, 334 target killers and 296 extortionists had been apprehended since the start of the operation. According to the report 82 kidnappers were also caught securing the release of 39 individuals.
However, the decrease in unlawful activities has been followed by increased concentration of power in the hands of the law enforcement agencies which has led to some controversies.
