Man nabbed in Karachi for supplying drugs to students online

The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) police claimed to have arrested a man allegedly operating an online drugs business by providing narcotics to students in colleges and universities. 

The suspect was apprehended red-handed during a raid conducted in Shah Abdul Latif Town on a tip-off. 

According to an SIU official, the investigators recovered 250 grams of crystal meth (ice) from his possession during a targeted raid in Shah Latif Town. 

Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) revealed the suspect’s previous crime history, stating that the accused, identified as Ali Wazir, has been arrested multiple times in cases of the same nature, which were reported in several police stations in Karachi.

He added that Wazir reportedly partnered in delivering drugs in colleges and universities by using online platforms.

The investigation also revealed that he was also found involved in gambling and possession of illegal arms. 

Earlier, in connection with a profile murder case, the police had arrested Sajid Hassan’s son, Sahir Hassan, who had made startling revelations about the narcotics business before the investigators.

He had revealed that the deliveries were made to specific locations, and students are gradually addicted to weed after befriending drug dealers. Initially, only a few buyers existed in the institution, but within months, the customer base expanded. 

SSP Shoaib Memon revealed that two major groups are operating in the city’s weed trade, one illegally imports weed from California, while the other deals in Iranian weed. Investigations into these networks are ongoing.
