Punjab Police achieves another success against Kacha Criminals: Two Dangerous Dacoits, Badla Manglani and Qasim Chachar, Killed in Intelligence-Based Operation

 

Punjab Police in Rahim Yar Khan secured another success against Kacha criminals by eliminating two dangerous dacoits during an intelligence based operation. The operation took place in Kacha Jamal Din Wali, where the dacoits, involved in the martyrdom of Constable Akbar Gopang in Bhong, were killed. In May 2023, the same dacoits had martyred Sindh Police's ASI Amanullah Abro by opening fire on him. Cases had been registered against the deceased in both Rahim Yar Khan district and Ghotki district of Sindh. The dacoits were wanted for various crimes, including robbery, extortion, kidnapping for ransom, and the martyrdom of police personnel.

 

According to the Punjab Police spokesperson, information was received about the presence of the dacoits in the mango orchards of Kacha Jamal Din Wali, prompting a swift police response. Upon seeing the police, the dacoits initiated heavy firing, leading to a prompt counteraction by the police. When the exchange of fire ceased, two bodies were recovered. The deceased were later identified as dangerous Kacha criminals, Badla Manglani and Qasim Chachar. Their bodies were transferred to a hospital for further legal proceedings. The police also recovered heavy weaponry, including Kalashnikovs, ammunition, and a stolen motorcycle. A police search operation is also underway in the area.

 

Spokesperson police added that the dacoits were likely planning a major crime in the region, but the timely police action thwarted their intentions. The operation involved In-charge CIA Bhong, Jibran Jerad, In-charge Chowki Jamal Din Wali, and other police teams, who used armoured vehicles during the operation. IG Punjab, Dr. Usman Anwar praised DPO Rizwan Umar Gondal and the team for their outstanding performance in this action against Kacha criminals. He also instructed DPO Rahim Yar Khan to continue intelligence-based operations to further eliminate Kacha criminals.
