PESHAWAR: Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander Razman Shah and eleven other ‘TTP’ men surrendered to security forces in the Kalaya area of Orakzai Agency on Monday, according to local media authorities.

The other ‘militants’ include Meer Khan, Shahid, Abdullah, Ameenullah, Mohammad Ameen, Irfan, Hazrat Mohammad, Meela Khan, Speen Mir Khan, Mohammad Adeel and Dinullah.
The 12 ‘TTP’ men who laid down their arms all belonged to the banned outfit and were wanted by security forces because of their involvement in different terror activities, security sources said, sources further added.
Orakzai is one of Pakistan’s seven semi-autonomous tribal regions in the northwest, where Pakistani Taliban and Al Qaeda-linked militants are said to have carved out strongholds.
