“No matter where proclaimed offenders hide — within the country or abroad — they will be brought to justice,” declared DIG Zeeshan Raza.
He emphasized that the operations reflect the commitment of Lahore Investigation Police to uphold the law and ensure justice for victims. He further added that with strong police-prosecution partnerships, the arrested criminals would be dealt with firmly under the law.
The crackdown is part of an ongoing operation targeting hardened criminals and fugitives in the city.
In recognition of their performance, SSP Investigation Muhammad Naveed has announced commendation certificates for the participating police teams.
