Additional Inspector General of Police Karachi Imran Khan<\/strong> stated that a special task force was formed last week<\/strong>, comprising officers from DIG West, CIA, SSP Central, and SSP SIU<\/strong>. The operation was conducted on the identification of Rehanuddin<\/strong>, a suspect previously arrested in an encounter.<\/p>\n

Police said Rehanuddin<\/strong>, a known extortionist, was injured and arrested two days earlier during a police encounter<\/strong>. Based on his information, authorities dismantled a dangerous extortion network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Among the arrested suspects are Jawad alias Wajah Qadri, Rehanuddin, and Mullah Shahzaib<\/strong>, described as key operatives of a highly wanted criminal group<\/strong>. Police said the network was being run by fugitive gang leaders Wasiullah Lakho and Abdul Samad Kathiawari<\/strong>, who are currently hiding abroad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Authorities recovered a large cache of illegal weapons<\/strong>, including G-3 rifles, submachine guns, and pistols<\/strong>. Police confirmed that 10 cases have been registered against the nine arrested suspects<\/strong> under extortion and illegal arms charges.<\/p>\n

Investigators said Rehanuddin was also involved in a showroom firing incident<\/strong>, while an extortion case was registered at Jamshed Quarters Police Station last month<\/strong>. During interrogation, the suspect reportedly made significant disclosures<\/strong>, revealing details about gang leadership, facilitators, and extortion-related attacks.<\/p>\n

In total, 17 individuals were taken into custody<\/strong>, with eight found to have prior criminal records<\/strong> during initial verification. Three additional suspects \u2014 Shoaib, Tahir, and Aamir<\/strong> \u2014 involved in firing during extortion incidents were also arrested, along with three facilitators found in possession of illegal weapons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Police said further verification, legal proceedings, and investigations are ongoing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
