KARACHI: A sessions’ court has acquitted alleged Lyari gang warfare kingpin Uzair Baloch in two more cases for “lack of evidence” against him.
Baloch, chief of the defunct Peoples Amn Committee, was exonerated of the charges of attacking policemen in the violence-torn Lyari neighbourhood during a crackdown against gangsters in 2012.
Additional District and Sessions’ Judge (South) Faraz Ahmed Chandio recently pronounced his verdict.
Police had nominated Habib Jan Baloch, Wasiullah Lakho, Umar Kachhi and Sharfuddin as suspects in the case and showed M. Kashif and Faisal Mehmood as absconders.

SUKKUR: Freshwater dolphins are flourishing in a stretch of the country’s main river after a helping hand from fishermen mobilised to defend a rare species driven to near extinction.
Identifiable by their saw-like beaks, Indus River dolphins once swam from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea, but now mostly cluster in a 180-kilometre length of the waterway in Sindh.
A glimpse of a dolphin cutting through muddy water to gasp for air is a regular sight along the mighty river, but most villagers nearby were unaware their neighbours were on the brink of extinction.

Sukkur: Freshwater dolphins are flourishing in a stretch of Pakistan s main river after a helping hand from fishermen mobilised to defend a rare species driven to near-extinction.
Identifiable by their saw-like beaks, Indus River dolphins once swam from the Himalayas to the Arabian sea, but now mostly cluster in a 180-kilometre (110-mile) length of the waterway in southern Sindh province.
A glimpse of a dolphin cutting through muddy water to gasp for air is a regular sight along the mighty river, but most villagers nearby were unaware their neighbours were on the brink of extinction. We had to explain that it was a unique species only found in the Indus and nowhere else, Abdul Jabbar, who gave up fishing for a job on the dolphin rescue team, told AFP on the banks of Dadu Canal, which he patrols by motorbike.
