ISLAMABAD - Islamabad Police have started crackdown on Afghan nationals staying illegally in the city.
“Afghan nationals have been involved in a number of incidents of murders, extortion, burglary and ransom. We are especially keeping on eye of them. While a number of Afghan nationals, involved in criminal activities, have been arrested during the last couple of months,” a spokesperson of ICT police said.
As a part of fresh crackdown, the police made fresh arrest. Sikander Ali Afghani, 35, has been residing in Islamabad since 2003. Over the years, the man has been moving and working freely in Pakistan until 15 May 2014, the day he was arrested.
In the wee hours of Thursday, a police party intercepted him as the man walked to his temporary residence situated in G-10/4.
After he failed to produce legal documents including passport, the police party took the man to Margalla police.
“We have arrested him after he failed to show legal documents,” Sikander Hayat, the Assistant Sub Inspector claimed. Police officials say, a number of Afghan criminal gangs are operating in the capital city.
Earlier, this month the Crime Investigating Agency of ICT police had arrested four members of a gang of Afghan dacoits while were planning to target a prominent businessman of Sabzi Mandi.
