Eight CTD men arrested after bail dismissal in kidnapping for ransom case in Karachi

KARACHI: Eight officials of the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) were arrested on Monday after their interim bail applications were dismissed from the anti-terrorism court (ATC) in a kidnapping for ransom case.

The accused — Younus Baloch, Rizwan, Ali Hassan, Shakeel, Abdul Jabar, Khalid, Zeeshan and Asif — had appeared before the ATC-1 in Clifton for the confirmation of their interim bail.

But the court recalled its earlier interim order and dismissed their pre-arrest bail and directed police to take them into custody.
