Karachi Police have arrested a wanted suspect listed on the Fourth Schedule who is alleged to have links with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The suspect was taken into custody during an operation conducted by the Pak Colony Investigation Police, officials said.

According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Masroor Ahmed Jatoi, the suspect had previously served prison time in multiple terrorism-related cases. Police allege that after being released on bail, he absconded and had been evading law enforcement authorities.

The arrested individual has been identified by police as Ghulam Muhammad, also known as Umar Muhammad Iqbal. Officials said he was wanted in connection with a case registered at Pak Colony Police Station and had been included on the Fourth Schedule, a list used by authorities to monitor individuals considered to pose security concerns.

Police further alleged that the suspect was associated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The arrest was made in Karachi’s Boat Basin area following an intelligence-led operation.

Investigators have launched further legal proceedings, and the suspect remains in police custody while questioning continues. Authorities said additional inquiries are underway to determine whether he had any recent involvement in criminal or militant activities and to identify any possible associates.

Law enforcement agencies regularly conduct operations against individuals wanted in terrorism-related cases as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen security and prevent militant activity. Officials have stated that operations targeting proclaimed offenders and individuals listed under security monitoring mechanisms will continue across the city.

At this stage, the allegations against the suspect are based on police statements and the ongoing investigation. The case will proceed through the legal process, and any determination of criminal liability will be made by the courts following the presentation and examination of evidence.

Police have not yet disclosed additional details regarding the investigation or whether further arrests are expected. Authorities say the inquiry remains active, and more information may be released as the investigation progresses.
