KARACHI: Sindh Home Minster Manzoor Wasan on Wednesday said that an operation had been launched against criminals in nine different areas of Karachi and that every possible step would be taken to restore peace in the city, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to media representatives after attending a passing out parade ceremony at the Razzaqabad Police Training Center, Wasan said indiscriminate action would be conducted to establish peace in the metropolis.

The minister said he could not share details about the operation with the media as it could facilitate terrorists in escaping.

So far, three target killers have been presented before the media and more would be presented once arrested, he added.

Wasan further said that some criminals may have fled while others would be arrested.
