Islamabad: Bani Gala police have busted two criminal gangs wanted to police in more than 45 cases of theft as well as dacoities and recovered looted items worth millions of rupees from their possession, a police spokesman said on Saturday.
Following the directions of IGP Islamabad Qazi Jamil ur Rehman, he said an effective crackdown against anti-social activities is underway. SSP (Operations) Dr. Syed Mustafa Tanveer also constituted special teams for effective action against criminal elements. One of the team headed by SP (City) Muhamad Omer Khan took prompt action following the complaint of a woman registered at Bani Gala police station. This team including ASP Bani Gala Haider Ali and SHO Bani Gala Tipu Sultan, ASIs Aashiq Hussain, Shehzad Rafique and others succeeded to bust an inter-provincial gang comprising four gangsters.

“We’re not doing enough for our next generation,” Shaikh Amjad Rasheed tells me as our tea arrives. “We have a rich history of films and filmmakers, who unfortunately very few know about and even fewer appreciate today.”
Rasheed is the Chairman of the IMGC Group of companies (producers of edible oil brands, textile manufacturing mills, soaps, detergents, etc) whose media label, Distribution Club (DC), produces and distributes a lot of Pakistani motion pictures.
In fact, DC doesn’t say no to movies at all. Good, bad, ugly, atrocious, they all eventually find a distribution partner with DC, because Rasheed can’t say no to filmmakers. He once told me that if he doesn’t support Pakistani movies, who will? The least he can do is get them to the screens. Whether they work or not, that’s their own kismet, he says.
