ISLAMABAD, Nov 06 (APP):Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police’s Bani Gala Police restrained an armed drug peddler, identified as Nisar alias “Gulama”, after he resisted arrest while attempting to flee with a loaded 12-bore weapon.
An official told APP on Thursday that Police Constable Jibran spotted Nisar alias Gulama, a known narcotics supplier in the area, during routine patrolling. As soon as the suspect saw the police, he tried to escape and brandished his loaded weapon, posing a serious threat to public safety.

The recovered firearm and ammunition, along with narcotics found in his possession, have been seized as evidence.
He added that a case has been registered under the CNSA and Arms Act, and further investigation is underway to identify his criminal network.
