Uzair Baloch has been declared an offender by the Anti-Terrorism Court. PHOTO: FILE.
Amn Committee leader Baloch was able to flee from the scene, leaving the police visibly frustrated and embarrassed. To show that work had been done, police officials threw furniture around in Baloch’s house despite his absence.
According to MPA Javed Nagori, a police officer had warned Baloch of the raid before it took place.
Following news of the raid, residents of the area assembled outside Baloch’s house and chanted slogans against police officials.
On April 24, nearly 300 Rangers personnel conducted an unsuccessful raid at the same residence as part of the operation against target killings in Lyari.
Uzair Baloch, Habib Jan Baloch, Noor Muhammad alias Baba Ladla and six others facing the murder trial of Arshad Pappu, his brother and a confidant were declared proclaimed offenders by the Anti-Terrorism Court on July 24. The court ordered to seize their movable and immoveable property.
Alleged Lyari gangster Arshad Pappu, his brother, Yasir Arafat, and their confidant, Juma Shera, were killed on the night of March 16.

Uzair Baloch declared absconder. Supreme Court takes notice. IGP is called to report within 7 days. Police conducts raid. Uzair Baloch runs away. Now the IGP can go to court and say, "Dekhay jee, humnay to raid kiya tha, liken woh farar ho gaya." It's all just topi drama. And why people protesting and chanting slogans against the police when they are there to arrest a named suspect in a murder case? Uzair Baloch should himself appear at the court because it is is civic duty. If he is innocent, he should let the court decide. Since he is running away, it shows that he is guilty.
Rogue terrorist on the move. Story sounds familiar in Pakistan, only this time there won't be a black ops team to take him down
Well this is less embarrassing! its better then arrested, prosecuted and let go by our honorable courts due to nor enough evidence!!! this country is about to hit the tipping point anytime now...
The Amn Committee and "Aprty" should protest at the using of word "escape" for the "sardar" who may have been away playing football with the heads of his opponents the people of karachi when the police raid took place otherwise being a "brave" "man" he would have stayed and given a sound thrashing to the "police"
I absolutely believe the MPA Javed Nagori.
@SK: "what a joke!!!!!...." . You can't laugh at this one, it is on us.
This guy holds VIP poisition in sind government for his efficacy in looting Karachi, even if he got arrested no one would be allowed to witness against him and ppp's police would most possibly deliberately make a weak case against him
Height of disgrace
what a joke!!!!! proclaimed offender fully supported and protected by govt. politically intrenched police following its masters line. corruption to its core.... what a mocery of justice and civility it is
as long as corruption party is in power nothing could happent to the liyari gangsters
The only solution to restoring peace is that corruption-tainted & incompetent Police Officers patronised by PPP's Sindh government should be expelled from Police Department. Only impartial & apolitical Police Officers can restore law & order conditions in Karachi.
