Police claimed to have arrested three criminals involved in Lyari gang war from Allama Iqbal International Airport on Tuesday.
Reportedly, the criminals named Sheraz Comrade, Awais Tippu and Zakir Mughari escaped to Lahore after the Rangers and police started a targeted operation against criminals, extortionists and target killers in Karachi. Comrade was travelling on a fake passport under the pseudonym of ‘Adeel’.
The CIA police raided and arrested them after getting information about their presence at the airport. Comrade (30) is said to be the ring leader of Saafi Lane gang, and is also a member of notorious Baba Ladla gang.
According to sources, after the death of Abdul Rehman Dakait, Noor Muhammad alias Baba Ladla took the reins of the gang. Source added that his brother Zahid Ladla was also an active member of the gang.
Comrade had a quarrel with Baba Ladla and Uzair Baloch, but the matter was settled later.
The officials shifted them to an undisclosed location for interrogation. The officials said Comrade was wanted by Karachi police in more than 200 cases of extortion, kidnapping and murder.
