Declining to disclose identities of the arrested men, District Police Officer Multan Hamid Mukhtar Gondal said âWe arrested the terrorists from a hotel owned by an Afghan named Juma Gul and seized modern weapons from their possession. We are confident they were planning terrorist activities in the southern region on a large scale. Initially, their headquarters were in Lahore, but once two of their accomplices were arrested there, these men shifted to Multan.â He added that the men had been shifted to Lahore for further investigations, and that they had confessed to more than 150 robberies, besides sexually assaulting women in various cities of Punjab and Sindh.
