DUBAI: Uzair Baloch, the chief of the banned Peoples Aman Committee's (PAC) who fled Pakistan in 2013 after the launch of a Rangers operation in Karachi, may soon be freed on bail in Dubai.
The Sindh government has been trying to get custody of Uzair from authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), but legal difficulties have restrained Pakistani police officials from getting custody of the Lyari gang-war suspect.
Sources have now told Geo News that Uzair has filed a bail application and that the passports of two Pakistanis have also been submitted in a Dubai court.
Officials have also asked the Pakistani consulate in Dubai to provide a temporary passport for Uzair, which sources say is expected to be issued within 24 hours.
Officials of the Sindh government have so far been unable to provide the necessary documents and evidence required to extradite the notorious gang-leader jailed in Dubai.
Uzair, 37, an alleged leader of one of the gangs operating in crime-infested Lyari, has been blamed for running a network involved in criminal activities including killings, extortion and drugs business.
The Interpol arrested Uzair from Muscat in December and brought him to Dubai, where he is since being kept in detention.
