In another operation, the seven other suspects were arrested in Dera Ghazi Khan. These detainees were also involved in extortion and other criminal activities.
The operations are parts of the major offensive codenamed “Radd-ul-Fasaad” currently underway across the country.
It was launched in February to “eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country” after over 100 people were killed in a series of terrorist attacks.
