Keeping watch: CID arrests four TTP men, target killer
According to SSP Chaudhry Aslam, the criminals were arrested in separate raids in Manghophir and Saeedabad.
Four men belonging to the Qari Shakeel group - a splinter group of TTP - were arrested on Thursday afternoon from Manghophir Road. The criminals, Abdul Jabar aka Agha, Arif Nawaz, Raees Khan and Ismail, confessed they were involved in extortion, forcefully collecting hides of sacrificial animals and robbing as well as kidnapping people for ransom across the city. Law enforcers said the criminals were providing 'logistic support' to militants.
SSP Aslam said the money collected by the criminals was being sent to their leader, Qari Shakeel, who is based in the Mohmand Agency. The police seized a 9mm and 4 TT pistols along with ammunition from the suspects. The officers added the men were "extremely cunning" and more details about them would be divulged after further investigation.
The cell's officers also arrested a target killer, identified as 35-year-old Musheer Ahmed, from Saeedabad early Thursday morning. They claimed he belonged to a political party in Karachi, but did not name it.
The police seized a 9mm pistol from him. Since 2009, Ahmed has been involved in eight murders of which six have occurred this year. Most of them were driven by ethnicity. Ahmed has also been charged for a number of other incidents, including rioting.

@MJ Siddiqui: "When will Pakistan media start publishing pictures of the people who are captured or held?" . Being charged for a crime does not automatically give media the right to expose anyone's identity. Only when convicted by a legal apparatus can it be done. The more surprising aspect is that the names of organisations who use services of such gangsters remain unrevealed. I believe the public has right to know.
All of the above comment suggest that public apriciate an strct action against such elements . I K should note it that covering the terrorists is not going to pay him in the next election .
Please execute them after investigation, do not take them to ATC or other courts. Our judicial system is not mature enough to bring these animals to justice.
Now shoot them before the courts free them
DABBANG style!
waoh..!! what a picture...I am loving it.. :)
This man deserves a pat on the back, well done SIr.
Brave guy, Chaudhary Aslam... Well done sir. . Keep plucking these cowards from their rat holes & put them in dungeons.
This must be a CIA/MOSSAD/RAW/SANTA CLAUSE conspiracy to deframe Pakistan.
Hats off to you, sir!
When will Pakistani media start publishing pictures of the people who are captured or held?
Good job. What I don't understand is why Police/authorities never show the faces of the arrested terrorists. I want to see their faces.
well done DABANG CHAUDHRY!!!
@Born Political: No Pakistani version of Jack Bauer :) !!!
No wonder TTP, MQM and ANP all hate him, but he is clever enough to attack 1 at a time.
Damn!!!! The pic of the SSP screams "Like a friggin' BOSS"!
Good work guys. Keep it up.
well done Chaudhry Aslam Sahab

Jiyo Chaudhry Aslam. A few more people like you would go a long way in settling things down in Karachi.
