Police said Friday having arrested seven suspects involved in allegedly torturing a citizen in the area of the Karachi ship basin and recovering weapons.
According to the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) South Syed Asad Raza, the police in the southern zone of Karachi “attacked two different places last night and arrested seven guards”, and added that “modern weapons have been recovered from the possession of the arrested guards.”
He said that recovered weapons were being examined to see if they had licenses.
According to the official, the arrested guards worked for the suspect Shah Zain Marri, who, along with his guards, had tortured a citizen before fleeing Baluchistan.
In addition, the Police had already contacted the Baluchistan government to arrest Marri, while operations were also undergoing other people involved in the incident.
Previously, a video had gone viral, which showed armed men in a four -wheeled vehicle in Boat Basin. As seen in the video, the vehicle ran into a high, just after which several armed men left the vehicle and began to torture passengers in the Alto.
According to the police, the incident took place on February 18 at 3 am, which led the police to register a case against the guards.
With the help of the scene’s CCTV images, the police were able to identify the suspects and make raids to arrest them, with DIG SOUTH issuing instructions to the senior superintendent of police investigation and the police superintendent Clifton “to use all the resources to resolve this case with priority.”
