KARACHI: Rangers personnel conducted an operation in Sultanabad area of Manghopir in Karachi on Thursday, allegedly killing a key commander and the local vice-emir of the proscribed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), DawnNews reported.
Rangers personnel had cordoned off the area sealing all entry and exit points of the locality while conducting the search operation.
Although the official Rangers spokesperson declined to give confirmation of the identities of those killed during the operation, security sources said that the vice-emir of the TTP's Karachi chapter identified as Abid 'chotu' was killed during the Rangers' operation in Sultanabad area of Karachi's Manghopir area.
The other TTP commander killed during the operation was identified as Fakhruddin Mehsud, according to the sources.
Two security persons also sustained injuries during the operation. They were later shifted to a hospital for medical treatment.
Manghopir is one of the areas in Karachi considered as a hotbed of TTP activity. Other areas in the city include Sultanabad, Pakhtunabad, Kunwari Colony and Pirabad.
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah has said that worsening of law and order situation in Karachi could not be borne by the city and the Army would be deployed in Karachi wherever it felt necessary.
