CTD opens five fronts in Karachi Rangers assault probe

Five cases have been registered by the Sindh Counter Extremist unrest Division (CTD) in connection with the assailant assault on a Rangers transport company in Karachi's Gulistan-e-Jauhar, in which three Rangers personnel were martyred.

Investigators stated an arrested assailant asserted the attackers belonged to the banned Jamaat-ul-Ahrar outfit and revealed details of the alleged planning, facilitators, and commanders behind the assault.

The main case was registered on the complaint of an officer posted at the Rangers Transport Company (TC) Workshop.

According to the complainant, around 8pm on June 27, a suicide bomber detonated himself at the workshop's main gate, martyring three Rangers personnel stationed there on the spot.

The complaint stated that as Rangers personnel moved forward following the explosion, three armed terrorists carrying automatic weapons entered the premises, opened indiscriminate fire and hurled hand grenades during the assault.

The complainant stated he and other Rangers personnel engaged the attackers, while the Rangers Special Force and Quick Response Force (QRF) also reached the scene.
