The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) and an intelligence agency arrested two suspected militants during a joint operation in Karachi, officials said.

According to the CTD, the arrested suspects were identified as Allah Dino, son of Ghulam Muhammad, and Faraz Ahmed alias Toto.

Officials said both men are linked to the banned Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army.

Authorities said weapons and explosives were recovered during the raid, and cases have been registered against the suspects under the Explosives Act and anti-terrorism laws.

CTD officials said Faraz Ahmed alias Toto was already wanted in multiple cases and is accused of planning attacks on sensitive installations.

Investigators said the suspect had also confessed to involvement in various operations carried out with his associates.

Officials further alleged that he was involved in the firing incident at the Chinese Dental Clinic in Karachi’s Saddar area, in which a doctor was killed and two others were injured.
