Rnagers arrest 65 suspected militants in Karachi

Rangers arrested 65 people allegedly involved in criminal activities in different parts of Karachi on Sunday.

The areas where the raids were conducted were Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Orangi Town, Landhi, Lyari, Shah Faisal Colony, Al Falah, Jauharabad and Khameso Goth.

According to reports, a large amount of narcotics and ammunition was also recovered from their possession.

In the first encounter, the LEA was raiding a suspected hideout of a banned outfit in Kathore near Super Highway following a tip off.

As officials were setting up a cordon, militants allegedly started unprovoked firing to break through. During the subsequent exchange of fire, two militants were killed, but their accomplices managed to escape under the cover of darkness.
