District East Police sealed all entry and exit points and conducted a comprehensive search and combing operation in multiple neighborhoods late on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday.
The security measure was carried out on the directives of Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) District East, Zubair Nazir Shaikh.
The targeted areas for this extensive operation included the densely populated localities of Gulshan Iqbal, Jamshed Quarters, and Sohrab Goth.
A key component of the police action was the biometric verification of individuals deemed suspicious by the authorities.
To facilitate the screening process, law enforcement personnel established a cordon, effectively restricting entry or exit from the designated areas during the scrutiny.
