KARACHI: Rangers launched an intensive targeted operation in Karachi’s Lyari area on Thursday, hours after two bullet-riddled bodies of paramilitary personnel were found from Mewa Shah Graveyard, Dispatch News Desk (DND) reported.
A large contingent of paramilitary personnel took part in the operation against alleged criminals flanked by over a dozen Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC). All entry and exit points of the restive area, marred by gang wars and drug mafias, were blocked.
The sources said that eight people were arrested during the operation, while protests were also carried out in several areas of the locality.
Rangers personnel also claimed to have freed at least three people held captive by criminals in the ongoing operation.
The operation was conducted in Moosa Lane, Baghdadi, Lee Market, and Ath Chowk against criminals and members of the Lyari gang war.
