[DAWN] Pakistain Rangers, Sindh on Saturday juggedYez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! a gang of fraudsters who were using "fake connections" with Pakistain Army officers to exert influence in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , a blurb issued by the paramilitary force said. Rangers personnel stopped a 'suspicious-looking car' during snap-checking near Safoora Chowrangi. The car was bearing a fake Pakistain Army number plate, the statement said. The suspects' vehicle was being escorted by two guards of a private security company who were riding a cycle of violence. During initial investigation, two men travelling in the car -- identified as Rehan Ali and Syed Rizwan Ali -- confessed to using their influence on the basis of fake connections with army officers and a counterfeit number plate, the blurb said. It emerged that the two men riding the cycle of violence, Mohammad Zahid and Ghaffar, had obtained uniforms on rent from a private security company for this purpose. Rangers personnel recovered a 12-bore gun and a 9mm pistol from the suspects, who have been handed over to police for legal action. |
