In a dramatic overnight operation, District East Police conducted a large-scale search operation in the areas of Sohrab Goth and New Town on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday. Authorities sealed all entry and exit points, conducted a thorough search of residential and commercial premises, and implemented a biometric verification process. This meticulous operation resulted in the arrest of eight Afghan nationals residing illegally in the area.
The operation, carried out under the cover of darkness, was aimed at curbing illegal activities and ensuring public safety. The use of biometric technology was a key part of the police’s strategy, helping to identify and detain individuals who lacked legal documentation.
Law enforcement officials highlighted the importance of such measures in maintaining order and preventing illicit activities. The arrested individuals are undergoing further investigation as authorities seek to determine their involvement in any illegal activities.
This decisive action demonstrates the ongoing efforts of the Karachi police force to strengthen security and uphold the rule of law in the city. Community members have had a mixed reaction, with some praising the police’s proactive stance while others have expressed concern over the potential disruption to daily life.
