Overview
- Authorities said at least 72 wanted men laid down arms at Shikarpur Police Lines as the Sindh Surrender Policy took effect.
- Police and home department statements reported recovery of more than 200 weapons, including rocket launchers and an anti-aircraft gun, with the combined bounties on those surrendering exceeding Rs60 million.
- Officials named several notorious figures among the surrenderers, including Nisar Sabzoi and Sukhio Teghani, with dozens of cases registered against them.
- The policy is not a general amnesty, requiring surrenderers to face pending cases and undergo biometric verification while offering family protections, IDs, BISP support, training and potential jobs after sentences.
- Authorities said hundreds applied to surrender but around 70 approvals were issued in the first tranche, as police and Rangers continue operations that the IGP says have killed 171 and resulted in 421 arrests.
