Law and Disorder: Former Civil Judge Arrested Transporting Large Stock of Banned Mainpuri in Tando Mohammad Khan

The Breakdown

  • The Interception: Personnel from the B-Section Police Station in Tando Mohammad Khan intercepted a suspicious vehicle during a routine snap-checking operation. The occupants of the car were identified as Zahid Mugheri—a dismissed former civil judge—and his companion, Sajjad Lashari. Both suspects are residents of the Gulistan-e-Johar neighborhood in Karachi.

  • The Deception: When initially pulled over by the police contingent, Zahid Mugheri attempted to evade scrutiny by falsely introducing himself as an active, serving civil judge. However, the deception quickly unraveled when officers demanded official identification and proof of service, leading to the revelation that he had previously been terminated from the judiciary.

  • The Seizure: A thorough search of the vehicle yielded 10 large bags packed with raw materials specifically used to manufacture Mainpuri, a highly toxic and strictly banned chewable tobacco product. In addition to the contraband materials, law enforcement officers recovered and seized an illegal, unlicensed firearm directly from Mugheri's possession.

  • Legal Proceedings: Local police have formally registered cases against both suspects covering the possession of illegal weapons and the transport of banned substances. Both individuals have been taken into custody, the vehicle has been impounded, and a comprehensive investigation is currently underway to map out their distribution network.
