Uzair Baloch, a notorious leader of the Layari gang war has been handed over to Pakistan Rangers on 90 days remand over alleged crimes such as target killings, extortion, kidnapping and terrorism.
Rangers have requested and sent a letter to Sindh Home Ministry seeking to form a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) for the interrogation of the accused Layari gang war key individual, Uzair Baloch.
Baloch, a key character of gang land violence has head money of Rs5 million and faces over 50 cases on different counts in local courts. Out of 55 cases 42 are pending in Anti Terrorism Court Karachi while he is wanted in 13 more cases in session courts. The sources told that the cases would be referred to a military court once a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) completes its task of interrogating the suspect.
Pakistan Rangers arrested the key culprit of Layari Gang War, Uzair Jan Baloch in a targeted operation from the outskirts of Karachi on Saturday. A source, however, said that the gangster had been brought to Pakistan a few months back but his arrests had been kept undisclosed as investigators were working on clues and information provided by him during his interrogation.
Uzair Baloch took over as leader of Peoples Aman Committee in Aug 2009 when the notorious Abdul Rahman Baloch alias Rahman Dakait was killed in an encounter more than a year after the PPP government came to power. The (PAC) committee , presented as community group by its leaders, is blamed for its criminal activities which include killings, extortion and drugs business.
