KARACHI: In a major joint operation based on intelligence, the Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) and the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) arrested three highly wanted facilitators belonging to the extremist group ‘Fitna-ul-Hindustan’ from the Chakra Goth area of Korangi.
According to a spokesperson for the Sindh Rangers, the apprehended suspects have been identified as Yasir Arafat, Khuda Bux, and Zahid Hussain (alias Barahzai). Law enforcement agencies recovered a significant cache of terror-related items from their possession, including 5 kg of explosives, 10 meters of Prima card, 3 detonators, 1 kg of ball bearings, a laptop, and 250 boxes of extremist literature.
Investigations reveal that the suspects were actively involved in brainwashing students from various colleges and universities to recruit them for the outlawed organization.

The arrested individuals, along with the recovered materials, have been handed over to the police for further legal proceedings.
