Targeted Operation Leads to Arrests
According to an official statement provided to APP on Tuesday, the operation was spearheaded by SHO Phulgran Muhammad Zubair Mazhar Iqbal, with his team under the leadership of ASI Mukhtar Nawaz. The police executed a targeted initiative aimed at addressing a series of burglary cases that have plagued the region.

The arrests were made in connection with case No. 93/26, dated April 8, 2026, under sections 380, 457, and 411 of the Pakistan Penal Code. These charges pertain to theft, house-trespass, and dishonestly receiving stolen property, highlighting the serious nature of the offenses.
Recovery of Stolen Property and Further Investigations
Following the arrests, the police leveraged disclosures from the accused to recover stolen property linked to additional cases registered at the Phulgran Police Station. Specifically, the recovered items are associated with case Nos. 274/25 and 279/25. The seized goods included solar plates, fans, bathroom and kitchen equipment, and electric wires, indicating a pattern of targeting residential and commercial properties for valuable assets.
