Police conducted a raid on a bungalow in Karachi, seizing over one kilogram of drugs, including crystal methamphetamine (ice) and cocaine, from a property linked to Azad Jakhrani, the brother of PPP MNA Aijaz Jakhrani.
The raid followed information provided by a suspect arrested with cocaine and ice, who allegedly identified Azad as the owner of the drugs and claimed additional supplies were stored at his bungalow.
Azad was not present during the operation and could not be arrested. A case has been registered against him under narcotics legislation, but the allegations have not been proven in court.
Aijaz Jakhrani, responding to the raid, stated that he had already disassociated himself from his brother and emphasized that the property was their family home.
He accused police of violating the household’s privacy during the operation and demanded an investigation into the raid and action against those responsible for any misconduct.
Aijaz Jakhrani informed Sindh’s home minister and inspector general of police, seeking a thorough investigation.
Faryal Talpur, chairperson of the Sindh Assembly’s Standing Committee on Home Affairs, took notice of the operation and requested a report from the provincial police chief.
The incident has sparked concerns about the involvement of political figures in drug-related activities and the handling of such cases by law enforcement agencies.
