KARACHI (Dunya News) - A heavy contingent of Rangers carried out a major search operation at the Central Jail Karachi on Saturday, three days after a deadly attack on a senior judge in the city.
Prison officials told that a large number of mobile phones, laptops and internet devices were recovered from prison inmates during the operation by the paramilitary force.
“Rangers believe the attack on Justice Baqar’s convoy was carried out from inside the prison cells with the help of mobile devices,” said a senior prison official, requesting not to be named since he was not authorised to speak to the media.
The Rangers force have recovered a cellular device which they believe was used directly in the attack on Sindh High Court Judge Justice Maqbool Baqar.
Nine people were killed in the bomb attack on the convoy of the senior high court judge on Wednesday, June 26. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had claimed responsibility for the attack.
The search operation on Saturday was carried out on a tip-off by an inmate at the central prison.
