KARACHI (HRNW) – A startling revelation has emerged from the industrial hub of Karachi, exposing that the very personnel deployed to protect the multi-billion rupee assets of the Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) were actively running a major theft ring. Under the zero-tolerance directives of the SSP Malir, a high-profile operation led by SHO Bin Qasim Faisal Rafiq successfully busted an organized syndicate, arresting 10 key suspects, including five police officials.
The intricate details of this high-stakes insider scandal include:
Modus Operandi and Identification of the Apprehended Racket
-
Arrested Police Officials: According to police authorities, five of the detained individuals were active personnel serving in the 15 Madadgar Bin Qasim force. They have been identified as PC Irfan Shah, PC Saadullah, PC Muneeb, PC Rahmat, and PC Muhammad Ali.
-
Complicit Private Affiliates: The remaining five arrested private individuals include Abdul Karim (son of Ghulam Qadir), Mashooq Ali (son of Rafiq Gabol), Saddam Hussain (son of Hussain Bakhsh), Javed (son of Allah Bakhsh), and Qazi Tahir (son of Nizamuddin).
-
Affiliation with the Roshan Marri Network: Preliminary investigations indicate that this highly coordinated network was responsible for a string of major thefts within the Pakistan Steel Mills premises, allegedly operating under the direct patronage of a notorious local criminal, Roshan Marri.
-
Facilitation Under the Guise of Duty: The investigative report revealed that PC Irfan Shah abused his official positioning to systematically breach security barriers and infiltrate specialized theft teams inside the PSM facility. The other complicit police officers would then collect the stolen scrap inside the mill and transport it back to Irfan Shah, who subsequently sold the precious metals to pre-arranged scrap dealers.
Material Recoveries and Validation of Labor Stance
-
Seizure of Stolen Commodities: During the successful raid, law enforcement personnel recovered 30 kilograms of stolen high-grade copper, three motorcycles utilized during the execution of the crimes, and multiple mobile phones containing operational data.
-
United Bar and Labor Unions Vindicated: This high-profile bust has strongly vindicated the long-standing stance held by the United Bar and local labor unions. Representatives had repeatedly raised red flags, asserting that deep-rooted insider facilitation by elements within the police department was enabling the plunder of state assets. These latest arrests have officially validated those claims.
With this powerful criminal network now dismantled, industrial circles and the public are strictly questioning whether the accountability process will expand to indict the higher-up political or administrative figures backing the Roshan Marri network, or if the judicial actions will remain restricted to these low-ranking officials.
