Shocking Revelations After Arrest of Two Karachi Policemen in Weapon Smuggling Scandal

Karachi, Pakistan – The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Intelligence Wing has revealed startling information following the arrest of two policemen, who were taken into custody ten days ago from the vicinity of Tariq Road and Jheel Park, within the jurisdiction of the Ferozabad police station.
According to police officials, Constables Abdul Qadir Mehmood from the Mithadar police station and Owais, alias Longa (also known as Boxer), from the Shaheen Force of District Keamari, were arrested on the basis of a tip-off following an investigation initiated under the recommendation of the Inspector General of Sindh. The CTD’s Arm Bagh Trafficking Monitoring Desk took both men into custody, and a significant amount of illegal and government-issued weapons and ammunition were recovered from them.
During interrogation, the arrested policemen made significant admissions. They confessed that they had bribed their way into the police force in 2023. Shortly after their recruitment, they began stealing official firearms and ammunition and selling smuggled weapons to criminals.
According to the police, Owais stole government-issued firearms and ammunition from the Medina Colony police station’s weapon store and handed them over to Abdul Qadir Mehmood, who then sold them to criminal elements. Abdul Qadir himself had also stolen government-issued Kalashnikovs and 9mm ammunition, which he sold on the black market.
The CTD team has arrested several individuals who were in possession of these illegal weapons, based on the suspects’ identification. However, authorities have not yet disclosed the details or arrests of these individuals.
The case has raised concerns about the extent of corruption within the police force and the involvement of law enforcement personnel in criminal activities. Investigations are ongoing, and more arrests are expected in the coming days.
