White Corolla gang: Alleged rapist granted bail in 2 cases

Alleged rapist, Ali Hajiano has been granted bail for Rs50,000 each, in two out of 33 cases.

KARACHI: Alleged serial rapist, Ali Hajiano who gained infamy for being part of the ‘White Corolla’ gang has been granted bail for Rs50,000 each, in two out of 33 cases by the Sindh High Court today.

The prosecution was unable to provide enough evidence to prosecute at this stage. Hajiano will remain behind bars as the remaining cases are still to be heard.

As reported earlier in The Express Tribune, Hajiano was one of the three children of Gul Muhammad, a government officer who worked in the provincial education department.

His brother Yasir was killed reportedly by activists belonging to a political party, which brought Hajiano close to the ranks of a political party’s group in Landhi, where he and his family lived. However, the criminal was not a party activist.

Hajiano began his career with petty crime, such as snatching cash from the roadside, before venturing into more serious pursuits such as making counterfeit banknotes.

Officials who interrogated him at the time, said that when he got away with a rape and robbery in Clifton for the first time, he got a ‘chaska’ or addiction as one officer put it. Then on, he decided to pursue this line of dirty work full time. He even rented out other cars, such as a Mercedes with a government number plate, in which he would roam around and flash his money. The white Corolla, however, was strictly used for committing the crimes.
