Police said that Dr Malik sustained four gunshot wounds when unknown assailants opened fire on his vehicle near his home on Town Circular Road.

He was immediately taken to a private hospital in Hayatabad, where he is currently receiving treatment.

Authorities said the suspects fled the scene, and an investigation is underway.

Police teams are collecting evidence from the site and actively searching for the attackers.

The injured were shifted to a hospital for medical treatment, where their condition was reported to be critical.

According to sources, all the deceased and injured belong to Peshawar.

Police said the incident stemmed from a land dispute. Law enforcement officials reached the scene and have launched an investigation.

The bodies were shifted to a hospital for post-mortem after completing legal formalities.

According to a Rangers spokesperson, the suspect, identified as Asim, son of Asghar Ali Kalmaty Baloch, was apprehended from Mano Goth, Block 12 of Gulshan-e-Iqbal.

Weapons, ammunition, and explosive materials were also recovered from his possession.

Officials said the arrested militant had joined the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) in 2023 on the persuasion of its commanders Tariq alias Sufi and Salman Kalmaty Baloch.

During initial interrogation, the suspect revealed that he had moved from Karachi to Panwan, Jiwani, in Balochistan in 2016.

After joining the terror outfit, he took part in facilitating activities, including the distribution of weapons, ammunition, and supplies at the direction of commander Tariq alias Sufi.

Following the killing of Tariq by security forces in 2025, the suspect reportedly went into hiding in the Ramadan area of Iran.

According to sources, the suspect and his associate Salman Baloch had pledged to avenge their commander’s death.

Authorities said, on the instructions of commander Rehan Baloch, the militant was being sent to a training camp of the group’s Majeed Brigade in a neighbouring country for militant training after Eid.

The suspect was said to be highly active on social media platforms linked to militant groups, where he allegedly attempted to incite youth against state institutions and security forces.

Law enforcement agencies said raids are ongoing to apprehend other accomplices.

The arrested suspect, along with the recovered weapons, ammunition, and explosives, has been handed over to the CTD police for legal action.

Lawyers for the bank and the women had told Manhattan-based US District Judge Jed Rakoff this month they had reached a “settlement ​in principle,” but the terms of the deal were not disclosed at the time.

“While we stand by our prior ​statements made in the filings in this case, including that Bank of America did not facilitate ⁠sex trafficking crimes, this resolution allows us to put this matter behind us and provides further closure for the plaintiffs,” ​a spokesperson for Bank of America said in a statement.

In a joint court filing, David Boies and Bradley Edwards, attorneys ​for the plaintiffs, said the settlement represented the best option for their clients “given that many Class Members suffered harm many years ago and are in need of financial relief now.”

The plaintiffs’ lawyers may seek up to 30% of the settlement, or about $21.8 million, for legal fees, according ​to court records.

The settlement requires Rakoff’s approval.

The proposed ​class action, filed in October by a woman using the pseudonym Jane Doe, accused the second-largest US bank of ignoring suspicious financial transactions related to ‌Epstein despite ⁠a “plethora” of information about his crimes because it valued profit over protecting victims.

Bank of America has said Doe alleged merely that it provided routine services to people who at the time had no known links to Epstein, and that any suggestion that it was more deeply involved was “threadbare and meritless.”

Rakoff ruled in January that Bank of America must face Doe’s claims that it ​knowingly benefited from Epstein’s sex ​trafficking and obstructed enforcement ⁠of the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act.

Among the transactions Doe flagged were payments to Epstein by Apollo Global Management’s billionaire co-founder, Leon Black.

Black stepped down as Apollo’s chief executive in ​2021 after a review by an outside law firm found he had paid Epstein $158 million ​for tax and ⁠estate planning.

Black has denied wrongdoing and said he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal conduct.

Doe’s lawyers have also sued other alleged enablers of Epstein’s sex trafficking, and in 2023 reached settlements of $290 million with JPMorgan Chase and $75 million with Deutsche Bank on behalf of ⁠his accusers.

The ​lawyers are also appealing Rakoff’s dismissal in January of a similar lawsuit ​they brought against Bank of New York Mellon.

Epstein died in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

His ​death was ruled a suicide by New York City’s medical examiner.

The case was registered in Lahore by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA). An investigating officer has now written to the deputy director requesting the removal of Mubarak’s name from the Passport Control List (PCL).

According to the official correspondence, Mubarak had initially been nominated in the case over allegations of promoting a gambling app. His name was later placed on the PCL after he failed to cooperate with investigators.

However, following the grant of bail, the suspect joined the investigation. The inquiry subsequently found him not guilty of the charges.

The investigating officer stated there was no objection to removing his name from the PCL and formally requested approval from relevant authorities.

The 15-time major champion was released later on Friday, with Florida law requiring him to remain in jail for at least eight hours before he could post bail.

Woods had been overtaking a work truck pulling a trailer at high speed when he clipped the back ​of it, causing his vehicle to roll onto its driver’s side, Sheriff John Budensiek told a press conference.

The 50-year-old crawled ​out of the passenger door before law enforcement officers arrived.

A breathalyser test at Martin County Jail ⁠returned no trace of alcohol, with investigators believing his impairment was drug or medication-related.

Woods refused to submit to a urine test, ​an offence that carries a separate charge under Florida law.

No injuries were reported to Woods or the driver of the other vehicle.

Woods ​was charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, all misdemeanour charges.

US President Donald Trump said he had heard about the incident.

“I feel so badly. There was an accident. He’s got some difficulty. There was an accident, and that’s all I know. A very close friend ​of mine. He’s an amazing person, amazing man,” Trump said.

It was the second time Woods had faced DUI charges, having been ​arrested in 2017 in Jupiter, Florida, and later pleading guilty to reckless driving.

Woods was also involved in a serious car crash in February 2021, suffering severe ‌leg ⁠fractures.

His injury history spans more than two decades and includes multiple back surgeries, ACL reconstruction, Achilles tendon ruptures and chronic knee issues, all of which have significantly limited his competitive schedule in recent years.

Woods had only just returned to competitive action, representing his Jupiter Links Golf Club in a TGL Finals match on Tuesday, his first appearance since missing the cut at the 2024 British Open.

He had ​not confirmed whether he planned to ​compete at this year’s Masters, ⁠which starts on April 9 in Augusta.

According to officials, one case has been filed under money laundering provisions in the Commercial Banking Circle, while the second case has been registered by the Anti-Corruption Wing.

Investigators claim to have found prima facie evidence of money laundering through hawala and hundi channels. Authorities revealed that 22 bank accounts linked to Dr Abbasi showed a cumulative turnover of Rs25 billion.

The FIA further stated that her declared annual income ranged between Rs400,000 and Rs600,000, raising suspicions about the scale of financial activity.

She is also accused of illegally transferring funds to the United States and Dubai. Authorities said investigations are ongoing and legal action is being pursued in accordance with the law.

The suspect, identified as Bilal, has been arrested. Authorities confirmed that the woman and her daughters sustained serious burns to their faces and hands.

The injured children have been identified as seven-year-old Hania, three-year-old Iqra, and three-month-old Noor.

Rescue teams responded promptly and shifted all victims to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

Police said an investigation is underway to determine the motive behind the incident. Legal proceedings against the suspect have also been initiated.

According to officials, the exchange of fire took place when police confronted suspected robbers in the area.

One suspect was killed in the shootout, while two police officers — identified as 25-year-old Shahzad and 35-year-old Arsalan — sustained injuries along with a passerby.

The body and the injured were shifted to a nearby hospital, while authorities are working to confirm the identities of the deceased suspect and the injured civilian.

In a separate incident near Rehmania Mosque on Tariq Road, police said a group of robbers involved in street crime opened fire after spotting a police team.

During the ensuing exchange of gunfire, one suspect was arrested in an injured condition, while his accomplice managed to escape.

Police have launched a search operation to apprehend the fleeing suspect.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) carried out a separate operation in the city and arrested three suspects, including the alleged ringleader of the Chandio gang, during a raid in the Sindhi Goth area based on intelligence information.

The arrested suspects were identified as Rajab alias Raju, Munir Ali Chandio and Abdul Jabbar.

Rangers officials said a motorcycle, five fake number plates and cash were recovered from their possession.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects were involved in street crimes, robbery and theft of iron and copper from Pakistan Steel Mills.

Authorities said multiple cases had already been registered against them at various police stations.

The detained suspects have been handed over to the police for further legal action.

Fribourg city police said the bus became engulfed in ​flames on a road in Kerzers, a town in ​the canton of Fribourg, about 20 km ⁠from the Swiss capital, Bern.

“At this stage, we have elements ​suggesting a deliberate act by a person who was inside ​the bus,” said Frederic Papaux, a spokesperson for Fribourg police.

Three injured people were taken to the hospital, the police added.

Passengers were seen escaping from ​the burning bus, panicked and injured, Papaux said, adding ​that no other vehicle was involved.

Video after the flames were extinguished showed ‌the ⁠charred remains of the vehicle.

When asked about unverified social media reports that an individual on the bus had poured gasoline on themselves, Papaux said he could not confirm whether ​gasoline was used ​or how ⁠the fire had started.

Swiss President Guy Parmelin offered his condolences and said the incident was ​being investigated.

“It shocks and saddens me that ​once again ⁠people have lost their lives in a serious fire in Switzerland,” he said in a statement on X.

In January, Switzerland ⁠was ​rocked by a fire in a bar ​in the Swiss ski resort of Crans Montana that killed 41 people and ​injured 115.

The order was issued by Justice Abid Hussain Chattha on a petition filed by Syed Azhar Hussain.

According to the ruling, the Ministry of Energy has directed that billing for consumers continue under the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) Regulations 2015.

Distribution companies, including LESCO, have been instructed to bill consumers under the previous NEPRA rules.

The ministry has also directed that relief be provided to consumers who had already obtained approval for solar net metering.

The court order states that consumers who secured approval by February 9, 2026, will continue to receive relief.

Approved applications will remain subject to the old regulations until the enforcement of NEPRA Regulations 2026.

NEPRA’s legal adviser informed the court that the petitioner’s grievance had been addressed and would be resolved upon completion of the process.

The petitioner subsequently requested that no further proceedings be conducted, and the court disposed of the case based on withdrawal.

Earlier, NEPRA announced that revised net metering regulations would apply only to new applicants from February 9, 2026.

Draft amendments to the Solar Policy 2026 have been published under Section 47(3) of the Electricity Act, 1997, and public feedback has been invited within 30 days.

The CCD Civil Lines said on Tuesday that the suspects were being transported for investigation when the encounter took place.

Police stated that the accused had earlier been arrested from Sahiwal and Narowal and had made key disclosures during interrogation.

Officials said Rs1.2 million in cash had been recovered from their possession.

The deceased were identified as Naeem alias Andheri, Ashraf and Kabir.

Sources claimed that Naeem, described as the ringleader, had formed a new gang after his release from jail and was allegedly involved in multiple criminal activities.

Police said further investigation is under way and various aspects of the incident are being reviewed.

The 32-year-old was arraigned during a brief proceeding that had been twice rescheduled, most recently last month, when his original attorney abruptly quit without explanation and was replaced by a public defender.

Nick Reiner pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in the deadly knife attack on actor-director Rob Reiner, 78, and photographer-producer Michele Reiner, 70. Their bodies were found on December 14 inside their West Los Angeles mansion.

Seated behind a glass partition dressed in brown jail garb, his head shaved and beard closely cropped, Reiner appeared alert but spoke little during the proceeding except to answer “yes” when asked if he agreed to waive his right to a speedy preliminary hearing.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Theresa McGonigle also set the preliminary hearing, where prosecutors present evidence intended to show probable cause for proceeding to trial. It was set to take place within 30 days of April 29.

Nick Reiner, who has acknowledged a years-long struggle with substance abuse, was also ordered to remain jailed without bond, as he has been since his arrest in the hours after his parents were slain.

The killings stirred an outpouring of grief among Hollywood luminaries for Rob Reiner, who first gained fame by co-starring in the 1970s hit television comedy “All in the Family” and later directed such beloved films as “When Harry Met Sally,” “This is Spinal Tap”, and “The Princess Bride.”

Victims mingled celebrity with politics

Reiner went on to become a prominent Democratic Party activist and donor. He and his wife, married for nearly 37 years, had planned to attend an evening gathering with former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama on the day of the murders.

Nick Reiner was widely reported to have quarrelled with his parents while the three were attending a holiday party hosted by comedian Conan O’Brien the night before the couple were slain.

The circumstances and celebrity surrounding the Reiner case stirred memories of the 1994 stabbing deaths of former football star O.J. Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman.

O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder charges in a sensational case hyped in the media as the “trial of the century,” but a civil court jury later found him responsible in a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the victims’ families.

If Nick Reiner is convicted as charged, he would face life in prison without the possibility of parole, or prosecutors could decide to seek the death penalty. Such a determination has yet to be made, District Attorney Nathan Hochman told reporters after Monday’s hearing.

Authorities have disclosed few details about the crime and did not explain what may have precipitated the killings. Autopsies found both victims died of “multiple sharp force injuries.”

High-profile defence lawyer Alan Jackson, initially retained to represent Nick Reiner, suddenly withdrew from the case on January 7, forcing the second of two arraignment postponements in three weeks. A lawyer from the public defender’s office, Kimberly Greene, was assigned to take over for Jackson on short notice. She was in court with Reiner on Monday.

Neither of Nick Reiner’s siblings - older brother Jake Reiner, 34, or younger sister Romy, 28, who reportedly was the first to find her father’s body - has been present in court for their brother’s hearings.

Following his initial court appearance in December, the siblings issued a joint statement expressing the “unimaginable pain” they were experiencing following the “horrific and devastating loss of our parents.”

It remained to be seen how Nick Reiner’s history of drug addiction, rehab and periodic homelessness might factor into the murder case. Those struggles inspired the movie “Being Charlie,” which he co-wrote with his father.

The New York Times reported last week that in 2020, Nick Reiner was placed under a court-approved mental health conservatorship that had allowed for involuntary psychiatric treatment, a legal arrangement that ended in 2021.

The Times said both the public defender’s office and the district attorney’s office declined to comment on the matter.

In a detailed judgement issued on Monday, the bench reaffirmed that the chief justice is the sole “master of the roster” and holds exclusive authority to constitute benches.

It ruled that any judicial proceedings must be conducted by a bench formed through the chief justice’s lawful authority.

The court recalled the July 21 single-bench order passed by Justice Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan, stating that the bench which issued it had not been legally constituted.

It emphasised that no judge could exercise jurisdiction unilaterally outside the established framework.

Last year, Justice Khan had issued contempt notices to the prime minister and the entire federal cabinet over alleged non-compliance with court directions in a petition filed by Dr Fouzia Siddiqui seeking the release of her sister, Dr Aafia Siddiqui, from a US prison.

However, the registrar’s office did not execute the notices, citing that the judge was not included in the duty roster approved by the chief justice. The registrar later recommended that a larger bench examine the validity of the July 21 hearing.

The larger bench ruled that any challenge to the roster or constitution of a bench must be raised through internal administrative procedures and cannot be resolved through self-initiated judicial action. The judgement also cited observations of US Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter while elaborating on principles governing judicial authority.

According to officials, the suspects had abducted a gold trader last month, struck him on the head with a hammer and killed him before dumping his body in a nearby drain.

They allegedly demanded and received Rs2.5 million from the victim’s family in exchange for identifying the location of the body.

The CIA police had earlier arrested the suspects along with the murder weapon and recovered Rs982,000 from the ransom amount.

Police said the accused were being taken for further recovery near the village of Khewra when their accomplices allegedly opened fire to help them escape.

In the ensuing exchange, both detained suspects were killed.

The bodies were shifted to a hospital for post-mortem examination. Further investigation is underway.

According to local police, Dr Mahwish, 36, was returning home after finishing her duty when she was targeted by armed motorcyclists 200 yards from the hospital.

Following the incident, the Young Doctors Association (YDA) declared a strike and closed hospitals in protest.

The police have initiated an investigation into the murder by collecting evidence from the crime scene.

CCTV footage and witness statements are being used to track down the suspects.

A case has been registered at the KDA Police Station against unknown individuals.

The police have yet to make any arrests.

Talking to the media, YDA President said that protests and a complete strike will continue until the perpetrators are apprehended.

He urged the government and law enforcement agencies to ensure the immediate arrest and punishment of the killers.

Dr Rashid Bukhari, president of the Paramedics Association, also demanded the immediate arrest of the assailants and announced that the strike will continue until justice is served.

As a result of the strike, medical services at District Headquarters Hospital, including emergency and outpatient departments (OPD), have been suspended.

Protests have spread to other districts, including Karak, Hangu, and surrounding areas, as doctors and paramedics unite in their demand for the arrest of killers.

The local administration officials have been holding talks with medical associations to resolve the issue.

Dr Mahwish will be laid to rest today at her ancestral graveyard following a funeral prayer at 3pm.

The first incident occurred near the Korangi Crossing Bridge, where a speeding oil tanker collided with a motorcycle, killing three-year-old Saira and injuring her uncle and younger brother.

The family had been heading out to buy juice when the accident occurred.

Saira’s uncle, 18-year-old Raj Mohammad, and her one-year-old brother, Subhan, were injured in the crash.

Saira’s family hails from Gilgit-Baltistan, and her father works as a labourer in Karachi.

After the tragedy, the area people managed to catch the driver of the oil tanker and handed him over to the Zaman Town police.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.

The second fatality occurred at the Korangi 100 Quarters Pasban Chowk, where four-year-old Waseem was run over by a water tanker.

Waseem had been playing outside his house when the vehicle, which was reversing, struck him.

According to Waseem’s uncle, Habib, Waseem was the only child, and his father works in Gwadar.

The driver of the oil tanker involved in Waseem’s death remains at large.

In a statement to the Bombay Stock Exchange late on Saturday, IDFC First said it had observed discrepancies of Rs5.9 billion in accounts of some entities of the Haryana state government in the north of the country.

The Mumbai-based midsize private lender said it had suspended four employees of the branch in the city of Chandigarh pending investigation of the “incident involving unauthorised and fraudulent activities”.

The bank, which attracted investments from the likes of Warburg Pincus and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority last year, said it would appoint an independent agency to probe the incident and had filed a police complaint.

The Haryana state government and police did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Sunday.

The discrepancies were spotted when the government entities requested the closure of accounts, and the amounts claimed by the two sides did not match, the bank said.

IDFC First Bank reported a profit of $55.46 million in the last quarter.

The police stated that the suspect, identified as Zain, was being taken to the scene for the recovery of firearms when his alleged accomplices opened fire on the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) team.

According to the police, during the shootout, the suspect suffered bullet injuries and later died.

The attackers reportedly managed to escape under the cover of darkness, the police said.

The body of the suspect was moved to the morgue for a post-mortem, while an investigation into the incident has been launched.

The police maintained that Zain was wanted in many cases of serious crimes, including theft, robbery, and other offences.

Further investigations have been initiated to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident.

Farhan Baig’s body, bearing signs of torture and tied with ropes, was recovered six days ago from the Lower Bari Doab Canal.

A special police team detained one of the victim’s close friends, who allegedly confessed to the crime along with his accomplices.

According to police, the suspects subjected Farhan Baig to torture over a domestic dispute before killing him.

They later tied his body with ropes and threw it into the canal in an attempt to conceal the crime.

Police carried out raids at multiple locations and arrested five individuals, including the main accused.

Officials said further investigation is underway and more revelations are expected as interrogations continue.

Deputy Inspector General (Operations) Faisal Kamran took strict notice of the incident, declaring that respect and dignity for citizens is a “red line” for the police and that any misconduct will not be tolerated.

According to officials, the affected women had called 15 for assistance. When the SHO arrived at the scene, he allegedly engaged in a verbal altercation with them and confiscated their mobile phones.

Sources said an inquiry into the matter was completed under the supervision of the SP Sadar. Following the findings, the Raiwind SHO was suspended with immediate effect.

DIG Operations Faisal Kamran said that in line with the Punjab chief minister’s vision, enforcement of the law remains the top priority, and no individual is above the law.

Police officials stated that departmental proceedings against those responsible are underway and reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring the protection and safety of citizens.

Sources identified the victim as Mehboob, a resident of the Shahdara area of Lahore.

Police said Mehboob was reportedly in love with a woman named Saba, who ended the relationship and began seeing someone else.

Distraught over the breakup, he doused himself in petrol and ignited the flames.

He was immediately taken to Mayo Hospital in critical condition, with approximately 80% of his body burned. Police officials confirmed that his condition remains extremely serious.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, and further details are expected as the probe continues.

The proposed ordinance will be presented in the upcoming session of the Punjab Assembly for approval.

According to the draft law, the marriage of any boy or girl under the age of 18 will be declared a criminal offence, and strict action will be taken against those involved.

Under the proposed law, the minimum legal age for marriage has been set at 18 years for both males and females.

Any nikah registrar found registering the marriage of an underage boy or girl could face up to one year in prison and a fine of Rs100,000.

Similarly, any person over the age of 18 who contracts marriage with an underage girl could face a minimum of two years’ imprisonment.

An adult involved in facilitating an underage marriage may also be fined up to Rs500,000.

The ordinance further states that cohabitation with or establishing marital relations with a minor after marriage will be treated as child abuse.

The proposed punishment for this offence ranges from five to seven years in prison, along with a minimum fine of Rs1 million.

Additionally, taking a minor outside Punjab for the purpose of marriage will be considered child trafficking, punishable by five to seven years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to Rs1 million.

Under the draft law, parents or guardians found involved in arranging an underage marriage could face two to three years in prison.

Under the proposed law, all child marriage cases will be heard in sessions courts, giving judges the power to step in immediately and stop a marriage before it takes place.

All offences under the proposed law will be non-bailable and non-compoundable. In practical terms, this means those accused will not be able to secure bail easily, nor can families quietly settle the matter among themselves to have the case withdrawn.

Courts will be required to decide such cases within 90 days.

Once enacted, the new ordinance will repeal the Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929.

Government officials say the legislation aims to protect children’s rights and effectively curb the social issue of child marriage.

The case is unusual because while climbing accidents are common, prosecutions over them are rare, even in situations like this one, where a series of mistakes were made.

The court in the western city of Innsbruck handed the Austrian man a five-month suspended prison sentence and a 9,400 euro ($11,100) fine for causing her death in January 2025 by gross negligence, an offence that carries a maximum prison sentence of three years.

The trial has raised questions about the extent of legal liability in the high mountains, an inherently dangerous environment that climbers generally explore at their own risk.

After a day’s climbing in which they fell far behind schedule, the 33-year-old woman was exhausted and unable to go on about 50 metres below the summit of the Grossglockner mountain on a freezing winter’s night, the court heard.

The defendant, identified as Thomas P, left his girlfriend, Kerstin G, exposed to strong winds without wrapping her in her emergency blanket or bivouac bag for reasons he could not fully explain, to fetch help in a shelter on the mountain.

The equipment stayed in her rucksack.

When asked why, he told the court the situation had been particularly stressful.

A short call to the mountain police did not trigger a search since the police said he did not make clear they needed rescuing, and he failed to answer calls back or WhatsApp messages asking if they needed help.

The defendant said his phone had been in aeroplane mode to save battery.

Prosecutors called an ex-girlfriend of his as a witness, who testified that they had climbed the Grossglockner together in 2023, and after an argument over the route, he left her alone at night, crying as her headlamp ran out of battery.

The presiding judge, Norbert Hofer, himself an experienced mountaineer, ruled the defendant should have realised Kerstin G would not be able to complete the climb well before they ran into difficulty.

“I do not see you as a murderer. I do not see you as cold-hearted,” Hofer told Thomas P as he read his ruling, accepting that he had indeed gone to fetch help.

He added, however, that the defendant was a better mountaineer than his girlfriend by “galaxies”, and that she had placed herself in his care.

“What I want to say is that I am so terribly sorry,” the defendant, who pleaded not guilty, said earlier in the day.

The raid was carried out by the agency’s Anti-Corruption Circle following a tip-off.

Deputy Director Anti-Corruption Ali Mardan said counterfeit pain-relief medicines were being produced at the facility, posing serious risks to public health.

Officials seized a large quantity of finished and semi-finished fake medicines, along with packing and dye machines.

The packaging closely resembled well-known brands to deceive consumers.

One suspect, identified as Faisal, was arrested, and a case was registered against him. Authorities said raids were continuing to arrest other individuals involved in the illegal operation.

The victim’s body was recovered a day earlier from fields near an industrial area.

An abduction case had been registered on the complaint of the child’s mother, after which the police launched an investigation.

According to police, the father, identified as Azam, confessed to killing his son with a sharp weapon and dumping the body at a deserted location.

Investigators said the suspect allegedly planned the murder to implicate his rivals over a financial dispute in Haveli Lakha.

The suspect’s brother, Nadeem, was also arrested for allegedly facilitating the crime.

Police recovered the murder weapon and handed both suspects over to the investigation wing. Further inquiry is underway.

The incident has sparked fear and outrage in the area.

She could not survive due to a severe brain injury, and her body was sent to Kashmir after forensic samples were collected.

The student was appearing in her final-year examinations at the time, with her second-semester paper held on Friday, February 19.

In response, the university has formed a five-member inquiry committee headed by Professor Dr Abdul Hameed to investigate the incident.

A preliminary fact-finding report has already been submitted to the Medical Board, providing initial information about the student and the circumstances of her death.

Vice Chancellor Fatima Jinnah Medical University, Professor Khalid Gondal, and Vice Chancellor King Edward Medical University, Professor Mahmood Ayaz, met the student’s family and expressed their condolences.

University officials accompanied the family to Kashmir with the student’s body.

In view of possible protests by female students, the college administration has suspended all academic activities, including exams and practicals, until February 24.

New dates for exams and practicals will be announced later.

According to reports, the deceased were identified as Customs official Israr Khan and police constable Mohammad Bilal.

The injured — Hazrat Umar and Khayal Mohammad — were shifted to the District Headquarters (DHQ) Trauma Centre for medical treatment.

The bodies of the fallen personnel were also moved to the hospital.

A police spokesperson said the assailants also opened fire on passenger buses travelling along the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) route.

In addition, the attackers set fire to Customs vehicles, causing damage to state property.

Police said that security forces retaliated, forcing the attackers to flee the scene.

A heavy contingent of police rushed to the site soon after the incident and cordoned off the area.

Authorities said a search operation is underway, with raids being conducted at various locations to apprehend those involved.

Security officials stated that the situation has been brought under control, while further investigations are ongoing to identify and arrest the perpetrators behind the attack.

The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US Justice Department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny.

The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.

“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” the experts said in a statement.

The experts said the allegations contained in the files require an independent, thorough and impartial investigation, and said inquiries should also be launched into how it was possible for such crimes to be committed for so long.

The US Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A law, approved by Congress with broad bipartisan support in November, requires all Epstein-related files to be made public.

The UN experts raised concerns about “serious compliance failures and botched redactions” that exposed sensitive victim information.

More than 1,200 victims were identified in the documents that have been released so far.

“The reluctance to fully disclose information or broaden investigations has left many survivors feeling retraumatized and subjected to what they describe as ‘institutional gaslighting,’” the experts said.

The Justice Department’s release of documents has revealed Epstein’s ties to many prominent people in politics, finance, academia and business - both before and after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to prostitution charges, including soliciting an underage girl.

He was found hanged in his jail cell in 2019 after being arrested again on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors. His death was ruled a suicide.

Speaking at a press conference in Karachi, DIG West Irfan Baloch gave details of the case and stated that the robbery had been planned by a shop employee who had been working at the shop for the past 15 years.

According to Irfan Baloch, the suspect was not only the mastermind of the plan but also formed a gang that included other skilled workers.

Police said the suspects meticulously planned the heist over approximately six months, studying the shop’s security systems before executing the robbery.

The DIG West identified Aamir as the mastermind who facilitated the robbery.

Other members of the gang included Ameer Alam, Ali Ismail, Riaz, and several others.

Riaz was brought into the gang as a welder to assist in breaking or unlocking locks.

However, CCTV footage revealed that no locks were broken; instead, they were opened skillfully, reinforcing suspicions of insider knowledge being used in the heist.

Police have arrested all six suspects involved in the robbery.

Authorities recovered 12 welding machines, two pistols, and other equipment from the suspects’ possession.

The stolen gold has also been recovered, authorities said, adding that further investigations are ongoing.

Meanwhile, the Sindh interior minister has praised the police team for their swift action, describing the recovery of the looted gold and the arrest of the suspects within 48 hours as a major success.
