A local court in Karachi freed Buledi and his partners after the police took back the cases against them.
Buledi was arrested by the Lahore police in September along with two of his companions, Zubair and Junaid. He was wanted for murder, attempted murder, kidnapping for ransom and several other cases, the police had said, adding that Buledi was presented before several courts in connection with different cases for remand.
Buledi had been identified by a witness during the identification parade carried out in a robbery case in a district and sessions court on October 1. He was also identified by a witness in a court in Karachi during the witness parade for the hotel murder case on September 30.
Ameen Buledi was handed over to the police on a 10-day physical remand by a district and sessions court on September 20.
Rise to power
Two-years ago, little was known about this 40-year-old, who is booked in around 30 cases of extortion. Buledi became famous after he joined the Lyari gangsters. He ran a small gang of 30 members in Lyari before another kingpin of the area asked Buledi to join him.
“Baba Ladla offered him to join the gang,” revealed an insider.
“Buledi accepted the offer as it was a wonderful opportunity for him even if it meant sharing control over the old city areas with Hameed Pathan.”
Buledi, who has previously been associated with the army and the police force, was made the chief operational commander for the Old City areas.

God bless those who identified him in the courts... :P
@Nand: If you are interested in knowing the truth, Pakistanis did not rejoice at 26/11 Bombay attacks. We thought it was insane barbaric, and ludicrous. We were shocked though at the impunity with which the attackers were able to penetrate Bombay. There are many unrealistic misgivings on both sides of the border. Pakistani masses suffer from the scourge of extremism caused by the intricacies of geo-political actors and Pakistani establishment's own complicity in those intrigues which has landed us in this sorry state of affairs. Pakistanis are more interested in bread and butter issues and more concerned with their daily survival rather than in any attacks on India or Indians. Do not take into account the extremists and their ilk, who by the way exist on both sides of the border. On the other hand, if you want to continue to believe in your perceived hate and extremism, please continue to spout your vitriol.
Strange, even after witness identification fail to understand why Police has taken back the cases? How courts have accepted this. The whole judicial system needs to be revamped.. Looks very politicized
Hw is this possible??? Can police withdraw cases after hearing of a Notrious gangster??? No accountablity???
who cares! as long as he does not belong to MQM, chalta hai hota hai dunya hai
shocked! It can be clearly depicted from his release that karachi operation is jus a drama to fool people.
So much for the impartial provincial Government of PPP which uses police to withdraw and initiate cases. It is fooling public that Karachi will be crime free city. Peace will not come back in this province during PPP regime. Now that they found that case against this murderer, extortionist was strong they got the case withdrawn through police.
Supreme Joke of Pakistan sleeping now
Tiered of these sissy courts! Blatant injustice
