Sindh Police Launch Major Crackdown on Drug Trafficking Near Schools, Arrest 60
Sindh police have launched a major crackdown on drug trafficking near educational facilities, arresting over 60 suspects and dismantling 27 drug dens. The operation, led by Inspector General of Police Ghulam Nabi Memon, targets 'A+ category' drug networks, including those linked to affluent student circles.
The campaign follows the high-profile case of Sahir Hasan, son of actor Sajid Hasan, who was arrested for supplying drugs to students using technology to evade detection. The operation aims to disrupt drug networks active around schools, colleges, and universities, with police shutting down drug dens and detaining suspects linked to online drug sales.
The crackdown comes as alarm grows over youth drug abuse in Pakistan's major cities. A recent study found that one in five students has experimented with drugs, while another survey revealed that 44% of university and college students engage in drug use. Police have arrested 60 out of 69 active drug mafias near educational institutions, demonstrating their commitment to tackling the issue.
Police plan to secure convictions, prevent bail, and file prosecutable cases against traffickers. They also aim to freeze assets of major traffickers and cooperate with the FIA on related financial crimes or suspected terror financing. The ongoing operation reflects the authorities' determination to combat drug abuse among Pakistani youth and protect educational facilities from drug-related activities.
