The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) has arrested four suspects in a raid near Parking Plaza in the Saddar area, who are allegedly involved in a series of short-term kidnappings in Karachi.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Imtiaz alias Salman, Obaid-ur-Rehman alias Aabi, Shahid Musa, and Saleem.
Police recovered several items from the suspects, including ransom money, a pistol, walkie-talkies, handcuffs, and a car with fake government number plates.
According to DSP Raja Umar Khattab, the suspects would impersonate officials from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), CTD, and other law enforcement agencies. They used a car with fake government plates to abduct citizens and then transport them to Steel Town.
Once the victims were abducted, the suspects would demand ransom and then release them in secluded areas after receiving the money, he said.
