ATC issues production orders for Uzair Baloch

KARACHI: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) issued on Monday production orders for notorious Lyari gangster Uzair Baloch, in a case pertaining to an attack on the police during the Lyari operation.

The Kalakot police sought the restoration of the case for hearing, as well as the issuance of production orders for Baloch. The court accepted the request and issued production orders for Baloch.
