A highly wanted suspect affiliated with a banned organisation escaped from police custody on Tuesday.
The suspect, namely Hanif, son of Shahnawaz, was wanted in six cases. Three cases were registered against him in the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) in Karachi, one in Sukkur CTD, and two in District Malir. The suspect managed to escape after having dinner at a hotel in Nawabshah. Police were continuing their search to re-arrest him.
The suspect was brought from the Central Jail Karachi to the anti-terrorism court, Khairpur, for a hearing. Upon returning to Karachi and stopping at the hotel for dinner, the suspect escaped under the pretext of going to the washroom, according to police sources. The police continued to wait outside the bathroom.
