Warrants out for terrorists over attacks on Chinese
Anti-terrorism courts (ATCs) in Karachi issued non-bailable arrest warrants for several fugitive terrorists on Monday in connection with two separate terrorist attacks targeting Chinese nationals in the city. During a hearing concerning a suicide attack on a Chinese convoy near Karachi Airport in October 2024, the court was informed by the investigating officer that the alleged masterminds, Bashir Baloch and Abdul Rehman, are believed to be hiding in Balochistan. The officer reported that official letters had been dispatched to the Home Department. After reviewing the report, the court issued non-bailable arrest warrants for the absconding suspects, including the masterminds, who belonged to the proscribed BLA, and ordered their production in court at the next hearing. In a separate proceeding at the Karachi Central Jail's Anti-Terrorism Complex, the court heard the case of a deadly suicide attack on a van carrying Chinese teachers at the Karachi University in April 2022. During the hearing, the court issued arrest warrants for four absconding accused.

Listen to article A serving police head constable of the Punjab Police, who was allegedly caught filming inappropriate images of women in the toilets-cum-restroom of the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital in Gujar Khan of Rawalpindi district, has been formally arrested and booked in a case. A citizen intervened, caught the suspect on the spot, and handed him over to the police along with his mobile phone. According to police sources, a case has been formally registered, and an investigation is currently underway. The suspect has been identified as a police official affiliated with the Training Wing in Lahore. The First Information Report (FIR), filed by a citizen named Bilal Hussain, states that he had visited the hospital for medical treatment when he observed a man capturing images of women inside the restroom. The same individual was also reportedly seen photographing women elsewhere within the hospital premises.

It allegedly contained inappropriate photographs of women. The suspect was then detained by Bilal and handed over to the authorities. Police officials confirmed that the accused was dressed in civilian clothing at the time of the incident. A case has been registered under Sections 354, 292, and 509 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), and further investigation is in progress. Saddar SP Nabeel Khokhar confirmed that the accused is indeed a member of the Lahore Police's Training Wing. According to Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Syed Daniyal, the police received a complaint from a resident who said that the suspect, a serving head constable posted in the Lahore office of Punjab Police, was allegedly involved in filming women while they were using the toilets in the hospital's wards.

The case was withdrawn, and he was reinstated, Daniyal added. Gujar Khan police said that several compromised videos of women using the toilets had been found on his cell phone, which have been sent for forensic verification. According to THQ Medical Superintendent (MS) Dr Sarmad Kiyani, there are no cameras in the hospital's restrooms, and the only cameras in the hospital are in the corridors, not in the toilets. In March, a TikToker was arrested in Swabi for making videos and photos of women and girls while they were shopping and uploading them to his account. In December, Khanewal police arrested a suspect who allegedly filmed women customers in the changing rooms of a garment retailer in Khanewal with his mobile phone. Similarly, last June, Lahore police booked the owners and staff of a private girls' hostel in the Johar Town area in a case for allegedly recording videos of the residents through hidden cameras installed in washrooms.
