The Jamshed Town Police Officer said that the police arrested Mohammad Afzal Khaskheli, a close associate of Aziz Lasi, and recovered 175 rounds of SMG, 90 rounds of 222-rifle, 30 rounds of TT pistol and two TT pistols from the house during the raid.
“We have also recovered a young man, Arif Mal, who was kidnapped by eight to 10 suspects a few hours before the raid. The victim was taken hostage for ransom,” SP Asif Ajaz said.
The gang is notorious for drug peddling, kidnapping for ransom and running gambling dens.
“As we proceeded to conduct the raid, at Lasi house, the local police were reluctant to take part saying that it has never been done in the past,” the TPO said.
Area people say clashes between the two notorious groups of Aziz Lasi and Shaukat had scared away many residents in the neighborhood who had shifted to other areas.
