KARACHI: Police on Sunday claimed to have arrested three suspected militants, said to be part of a sleeper cell of outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), who recently formed a new network in the metropolis.
Acting on a tip-off, the police carried out action in SITE’s Valika Ground and arrested Niaz Ali, Shahrukh and Ajab Khan and seized three pistols from them, said Keamari SSP Fida Husain Janwari.
Niaz Ali had joined the banned Jaish-i-Mohammed in 2015 and got militancy training in 2016, the SSP said, adding that he also collected donations for the JM. Later in 2020, Ali joined the TTP and “brainwashed” youths for carrying out terror activities.
