Lahore [Pakistan], September 4 (ANI): In Pakistan’s Punjab Province, ten major cities are currently facing a serious threat from organised crime. Law enforcement is encountering considerable difficulties in capturing dangerous suspects, according to Samaa TV.
The report states that there are currently 960 suspects wanted for serious crimes, including illegal occupation, extortion, kidnapping for ransom, and murder, who remain at large. The cities most affected are Rawalpindi, Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur, and Faisalabad, where criminal activities have increased. Bhawalpur tops the list with several active dangerous criminals, with 264 still evading arrest.
Dera Ghazi Khan has 134 suspects involved in serious crimes who are still at large, while Faisalabad and Sahiwal are notable hotspots, with 53 and 55 dangerous suspects, respectively, remaining unaccounted for.
The report further notes that despite substantial efforts, the police have apprehended only 491 of the 1,451 identified suspects. This leaves 960 suspects, many of whom are deemed highly dangerous, still at large and posing an ongoing threat to public safety. The difficulty in capturing these criminals has become a major challenge for law enforcement, raising concerns about the effectiveness of current strategies against organised crime in the province.

The region faces challenges with various forms of criminal activity, including organised crime, extortion, illegal occupation, kidnapping for ransom, and murder. Law enforcement agencies are struggling to manage and mitigate these threats effectively.

In Punjab, Pakistan’s most populous province, the crime situation is varied and complex. The province experiences violent crimes such as murder and armed robbery, with rural areas sometimes facing issues like land disputes and honour-based violence, while urban areas deal with street crime and gang-related violence.
