In a high-profile meeting on Thursday, attended by senior officials including SSP Operations Muhammad Shoaib Khan, SSP CTD, Zonal SPs, and SP Dolphin, the directive for a comprehensive crackdown was issued.
The meeting marked a decisive moment for Islamabad’s law enforcement as the DIG instructed the immediate arrest of proclaimed offenders and persistent criminals involved in major offenses. A particular focus was placed on dismantling gangs implicated in motorcycle and car theft, which have been a growing concern for the public.
