KARACHI: Police apprehended Riasat Ali, also known as Jadgaal, from Lyari, exposing his alleged role as major narcotics supplier in city.

Suspect made startling revelations of daily narcotics transactions amounting to staggering Rs 5 to Rs 6 million. Investigation report unveiled Ali’s confession of dealing in ice, crystal, hashish and other illicit substances.

Modus operandi reportedly involved Ali’s brother, Abid, who smuggled narcotics from Iran and other countries, while Ali oversees distribution within Karachi.

“When I need weapons for defence, to enhance business and to kill rival drug lords, I assigned the task to my front man, Raza,” he added. “Raza bought firearms from Wahab Pathan of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province and Liaquat is my main seller at base.”

Authorities assert Ali’s close ties to Uzair Baloch, prominent figure in Lyari Gang War, indicating his involvement in providing shelter to gang’s members. Drug cartel allegedly operated in collaboration with Sardar Majid, Abid alias Khalid, Raza, Liaquat and Wahab Pathan.

Furthermore, report stated that Ali is accused of financing criminal activities, with proceeds from narcotics trade allegedly used to procure weapons and support various criminal elements in Lyari area.

Among those named are Jameel Changa, Bilal Puppo, Saleem Chocolaty, and Sajid, associated with robbery gang operating in Lyari.
