Karachi, 18 October 2026 (Kamran Raja): Sindh Rangers and West District police have arrested five suspects allegedly involved in interprovincial human trafficking during a joint operation in Karachi’s Surjani Town.

The arrested individuals were identified as Abdul Aziz Brohi, Muhammad Bakhsh Dashti, Ali Hassan Brohi, Nadeem Brohi and Jameel Brohi. Weapons, drugs and a Suzuki loader vehicle were reportedly recovered from their possession. The spokesperson said the suspects allegedly used unpaved routes through Manghopir, Bund Murad, Surjani and the Northern Bypass to avoid arrest. According to Rangers, they charged approximately Rs2 million to transport a family to Karachi and reportedly admitted to moving around 230 undocumented Afghan nationals to the city in a single month. The spokesperson added that small vehicles and motorcycles were also used for human trafficking, while raids were underway to arrest the suspects’ alleged accomplices. The spokesperson further disclosed that a similar group had allegedly assisted in transporting suspects involved in terrorist attacks from Balochistan to Karachi.
