A case has been launched in New Town Police Station against assistant jailer Kamal Hussain and clerk, Zafar of the Central Jail for releasing four terrorists from lockups. The terrorists at large have also been nominated in the case.

The federal government and law enforcement agencies have collaborated to free Karachi of target killings, terror outfits operatives and street crimes. The collaboration came into being in form of a targeted operation launched in September 2013. The operation was led by Pakistan Rangers. The federal and provincial government used to extend Rangers authority in Karachi whenever it was needed in the past.
The locals in different districts of Karachi support Rangers’ stay. Target killings and cases involving other crimes have lessened since the start of operation.
This is another area of harboring corruption in the highly politicised Sind Police. High profile criminals enjoy facilities in the jail which one can not imagine. They are all criminals sponsored by Political parties. Every now and then, there are stories in the press about gross corruption in the Jails – that one where tunnels were dug into Karachi Jail. Mobile network, drug supply frequently. One can write volumes.
