According to a Rangers spokesperson, targeted operations were conducted in Landhi, Korangi, Nazimabad and Quaidabad along with many others.

During these operations, Rangers arrested various suspects involved in extortion and target killings, along with 14 others accused and confiscated weapons from their possession.

South Zone Police also carried out targeted operations in different areas of the city, and arrested 40 suspects during the past 24 hours, along with four absconding accused.

Weapons and drugs were also confiscated from the suspects.

Karachi, the largest metropolitan city of Pakistan is riddled with extortionists, gang wars, kidnappers, militants and terror attacks.
