GUJRANWALA, April 10: A raiding party of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) re-arrested a notorious human agent, Moazzam, from Mandi Bahauuddin on Tuesday following an encounter.

The accused was freed from FIA custody by his friends sometime back.

The agency, meanwhile, got the remand of 26 people deported from Turkey recently. They were arrested on the Iran-Turkey border.

Some deportees pointed out during interrogation that nearly 5,000 Pakistanis were in Turkish jails, with 14 of them having no passport or identity card. The Turkish government, they said, had sent their photos and addresses to the government to identify them. The agency was tracing out their whereabouts from their addresses in Gujranwala, Gurjat, Sialkot, Narowal, Mandi Bahauddin and Hafizabad.

The agency claimed to have arrested seven more human agents, including Jehangir, Ansar Ali, Munawwar Shah, Qari Ishtiaq Ahmad, Farooq Arshad and Abdul Aziz. All these accused belong to Gujranwala division.

GANGS BUSTED: The district police arrested 135 members of 31 gangs of dacoits and robbers and recovered looted goods and illegal arms from them during the first three months of the current year.

This was claimed by city police officer Khadim Husain Bhatti at a meeting here on Tuesday.
