Narcotics Supplier 'Jadgaal' Arrested in Karachi

An alleged major narcotics supplier, Riasat Ali, also known as Jadgaal, was apprehended by Sindh Police in Karachi's Lyari area. Ali's arrest shed light on his purported involvement in the drug trade in the port city, with daily transactions amounting to a staggering Rs5 to Rs6 million. The suspect confessed to dealing in various illicit substances such as ice, crystal, and hashish.

According to the investigation report, Ali's brother, Abid, was responsible for smuggling narcotics from Iran and other countries, while Ali oversaw their distribution within Karachi. Additionally, Ali revealed that he relied on a front man named Raza to procure weapons for defense, business enhancement, and eliminating rival drug lords. Firearms were reportedly purchased from Wahab Pathan of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, with Liaquat serving as Ali's main seller.

Authorities highlighted Ali's close connections to Uzair Baloch, a prominent figure in the Lyari Gang War, suggesting his involvement in providing shelter to gang members. The drug cartel, operating in collaboration with individuals like Sardar Majid, Abid alias Khalid, Raza, Liaquat, and Wahab Pathan, was accused of financing criminal activities using proceeds from the narcotics trade.

The report implicated Ali in supporting various criminal elements in the Lyari area, including individuals like Jameel Changa, Bilal Puppo, Saleem Chocolaty, and Sajid, associated with a robbery gang operating in Lyari.

The arrest of Riasat Ali, alias Jadgaal, has exposed a significant narcotics operation in Karachi, shedding light on the intricate network of drug trafficking and criminal activities in the city. Authorities are expected to continue their efforts to dismantle such illicit operations and ensure the safety and security of the community.
