In a timely and intelligence-led operation, Tangi Police in Charsadda successfully foiled a major sabotage plan and recovered heavy weaponry concealed for terrorist activities, demonstrating their continued commitment to maintaining peace and public safety in the district.
According to police sources, Tangi Police received credible intelligence indicating that unidentified saboteurs had buried heavy arms and ammunition in the area of Dot Sitara, located near a kacha abadí inhabited by underprivileged Afghan refugees. The concealed weapons were reportedly intended for use in subversive and terrorist activities at any time.
Acting swiftly on the information, a search operation was launched under the leadership of DSP Tangi, Mr. Gulshaid Khan, and supervised by SHO Tangi, Mr. Naushirwan Khan. The Bomb Disposal Unit (BDU) was immediately summoned to ensure safe handling of any explosive or hazardous material.
During the operation, police personnel excavated the identified suspicious location and successfully recovered two mortar machine guns, including one 82mm mortar and one RR 75, along with a tripod. The recovery of such heavy weaponry indicates the seriousness of the foiled plot and the potential threat it posed to public safety.
The recovered arms have been taken into police custody, and a formal investigation has been initiated against unknown suspects. Law enforcement agencies are actively pursuing leads to identify and apprehend those involved. Further search operations and intelligence-based actions are ongoing in the surrounding areas to rule out any additional threats.
District Police Charsadda reaffirm their resolve to safeguard the lives and property of the public. The police remain fully vigilant and committed to taking all possible measures to thwart any attempt at sabotage, terrorism, or activities aimed at disrupting peace and stability in the district.
