Five suspects arrested

The Sindh Rangers announced they had arrested allegedly notorious bandits who were involved in a number of robberies and street crime cases. The spokesman for the paramilitary force said Rangers soldiers conducted intelligence-based raids with the local police in parts of District Central and arrested five suspects.

He said they first caught Muhammad Asif, alias Chitta, with the help of CCTV camera footage and shifted him to the Rangers headquarters for interrogation. The spokesman said that using the information provided by Asif, the soldiers arrested four of his accomplices, namely Nisar Khan, Saeed, Roni Ilyas and Michael.

He said the investigations show that the suspects had robbed a milk shop in Nazimabad in January, adding that they were clearly visible in the CCTV camera footage that the investigators had inspected earlier.

The spokesman said the suspects were also involved in a number of other robberies and street crime cases in different parts of the city, adding that they had been arrested and jailed several times in the past but always managed to get bail.

He said the soldiers had also seized weapons and ammunition found in the possession of the suspects, adding that the suspects and the seized items were later handed over to the local police for further action.
