KARACHI: Three policemen were arrested on the city courts premises on Tuesday for allegedly stealing four kilograms of hashish from malkhana.
A police official at the City Courts police station said that the malkhana (storehouse of case property) was being vacated for renovation and repairing works and the suspects — Ali Shah, Mohammad Nadeem and Ali Nawaz — were part of a team shifting the case properties to containers near the partly damaged storage facility.
The suspects, who are trainee policemen, stole four packets of hashish, each weighing a kilo, during the process of shifting and were about to leave the courts premises on a bike when they were caught by policemen deputed at the main gate, he added.
A case was lodged against them under the Control of Narcotic Substances Act, 1997.
