[Major Shaitan Singh]

A briefing by the DG Rangers told the Sindh Apex Committee meeting that millions of rupees are distributed amongst gang-war factions in Karachi.

According to a press release, DG Rangers Maj Gen Bilal Akbar gave a detailed briefing to the Apex Committee meeting that was held a day earlier, regarding the Karachi situation.
The DG Rangers revealed that over Rs.230 billion is collected illegally in Karachi annually.
The briefing went on to say that this money is used for the purchase of arms and ammunition.
It was also noted that money is coerced out in the form of alms for the same purpose.
The briefing further said that most crime is committed by a large party in Karachi.

The DG Rangers went on to say that a large part of illegal businesses in the city is the distribution system of water which also involved illegal means of making money – in millions of rupees.
The briefing also noted that the money made from sale of sacrificial animal hides is used for funding terrorist activities.

Regarding land grabbing in Karachi, the DG Rangers said that political parties, the City Government, District Administration, and police personnel are all involved in the activity.
He added that the amount made from land-grabbing is used by political and religious parties to operate their armed wings.

He went on to say that there are three types of land-grabbing being carried out in the metropolis including grabbing of government land and property as well as grabbing of private property.
The DG Rangers added that the funds from the mentioned activities are used for gang-warfare amongst factions in Lyari as well as other areas of the city and also distributed amongst some important dignitaries in Sindh.

Illegal marriage halls, unlawful car parking business, match-fixing, and money laundering all play an important role in promoting terrorism in Karachi, the press release stated.
It added that cyber-crime, beggar mafia, and external funding of seminaries also endorse terrorism.
Regarding income sourced from Iranian diesel, the DG Rangers revealed that it is also a major source of funding crime as well as terrorism.

He added that this amount is also used to provide for political groups in Sindh as well as armed groups of land lords.
He further said that a systematic and regular distribution is in place for these amounts to reach certain influential people.

Police+Transport Mafia+Rangers are well connected in this business and I'm not saying other elements are not involved and my question still remain there. Why not DG Ranger Sahib taking actions if he know who are the culprits? I know the answer tho.

So 1% of Pakistan's GDP is collected by way of Bhatta from just 1 city

If Pakistani income tax authority were this efficient, then they won't be requiring IMF bailouts on a yearly basis

BTW how much this collection goes into Bhai's London Account

Everyone knows who is involved in these crimes, other than that even the rangers are involved in land grabbing. they have forcefully taken over dozens of play grounds, and then turned them into their "HQs". who will compensate the public for that?
And I doubt the rangers will take any significant action against anyone, because then there will be no motive for rangers to stay in the city. I have noticed this time and again that whenever the rangers' deployment period used to come to an end, crime suddenly used to shoot up in the city and their time period was extended further.

what about Target killing Mafia, what about 'Sindh Secretariat' Mafia what about KMC mafia all of them are not supproting each other and well connected as well .... how could Rangers take action directly against them its the civilian domain therefore Rangers is asking Sindh government to take action against those mafias ....

 

[saurav]

That's a very big amount. If he knows the exact amount, why not take action..?

 

[CIS-TRANS]

Despite nearly 2 years of Operation, Killings have been decreased but we are observing more well organized more cautiously working Mafia which are supported by Sindh government and their allies still untouchable by Rangers. Karachi's need an autonomy and complete separation from sindh province, or otherwise peace will never be bring with talks and guns.

How could they take action? The way they do in Nine Zero and entire MQM, but they can't do the same with others
Their bravery finish on calling name of Liyari gang THATS IT. If they pick PPP how PMLN could get free chit? PMLN past is more dirty comparing with PPP the links with out fit banned orgs.etc. No one can touch PPP and that's the reality.
Ye ho raha hai wo ho raha hai O Bhai pakdo bhi tou na.

Oh come on why ignoring the daily news of encounters of lyari gang members .... & you compare one of operation against MQM with layari operation; MQM members are just get arrested about who many of them you have come to know that they get killed in an encounter..... ?? can't you observe the different approach of Rangers regarding MQM & Lyarai gangs .... ??

you people should be thankful to rangers rather complaining about them.

and as for PPP they are different type of criminals they do corruption but they are not 'directly' involved in 'mass killing', therefore different strategy for them ....
