KARACHI: Over 75 suspects were taken into custody by law enforcement personnel in search operations across Punjab.

At least 38 suspects were detained by police and other law enforcement personnel in raids conducted in different areas of Lodhran, including Jeevanwala, Choti Nahar and Younuswala areas.

13 suspected motorcycles were also confiscated in the search operation.

According to police, the detained suspects are being interrogated and put through a biometric verification process.

Meanwhile, in Bhakkar, law enforcement personnel detained 39 suspects in search operations conducted in Kallurkot and Darya Khan areas. Biometric verification was also performed on around 60 people during the raids.

Pakistan launched a nationwide military operation codenamed Radd-ul-Fasaad this year, which includes broad-spectrum security and counter-terrorism operations in Punjab and continuation of ongoing operations across the country.

The move came after deadly bombings across the country all through February, which killed hundreds of civilians.
