Pakistan Rangers, Sindh claimed to have arrested Uzair Baloch, a notorious leader of the Lyari gang war and chief of proscribed Peoples Amn Committee (PAC), in a targeted operation on the outskirts of Karachi on Saturday.

Rangers arrested Baloch in a targeted operation outside Karachi late on Friday while he was attempting to enter the city, said a press release issued by the paramilitary force.

The press release also claimed the recovery of weapons from Baloch, alleged leader of one of the gangs operating in crime-infested Karachi's Lyari area.

Later, the gang war leader was presented into an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) which remanded him into Rangers custody for 90 days.
