Prolific drug dealer arrested in Karachi

    The Counter-Terrorism Department in Karachi has claimed a prolific drug dealer has been arrested, who returned to the city to avenge his brother's death.

    Momin Khan, who was wanted in connection with over 50 criminal cases, was arrested along with five other accomplices during a raid in the Shirin Jinnah Colony area of the city.

    Authorities say an amount of hashish and explosive material were seized in the raid.

    Reports say investigators believe Khan had returned to the city after his brother was killed in an encounter with police, in order to take revenge.
