THATTA, July 3: Drug traffickers started pelting stones on the Mirpur Sakro police to get two of their accomplices released as a result of which three of the latter were injured on Wednesday.

The police party raided a narcotics den, and seized equipment for manufacturing wine and thara. The police also arrested two drug traffickers, Jumo Khero and his son, Hamzo.

However, on seeing this the remaining drug traffickers — Zaibu, Ramzan, Ghulam Mohammed, Aamir, and Ms Azizan — offered resistance and attacked Head Constable Dilsher, Constable Shaikh Mohammed, and Constable Wazir Ali with lathis and pelted stones on them as a result of which they were injured.

They then managed to get their associates released.

ARRESTED: A special team of agency personnel from Badin with the assistance of the Sujawal police on Wednesday arrested a gang of three men who had been looting villagers since the last couple of months impersonating as senior army officials from Islamabad.

The gang had been looting the villagers.

The raiding team arrested Riaz Hussain, Yar Mohammed Rind, and Nazir Korejo.
