KARACHI: Scores of alleged miscreants were detained in a targeted crackdown in different troubled localities of Lyari, an area which houses Karachi's most dangerous criminal gangs, Geo News reported.

The raids were conducted in Purana Kumhar, Warda, Jumman Shah Plot, Ghulam Shah Line, Chakiwarda, and adjoining areas.

Rangers also took action in certain areas of Patel Parda on Jehangir Road.

Arrested accused have been moved to unidentified locations for investigations.
