Sources said the gang had been active for the past two decades across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and adjoining districts, involved in numerous cases of robbery, looting, and highway crimes while wearing police and FC uniforms. Just a few days earlier, the same group had looted millions of rupees in cash and jewelry from a doctor's family in the Jhagra area.

Police officials said the successful operation has restored public confidence and a sense of security among citizens. CCPO Dr. Mian Saeed commended the team's performance, reaffirming that Peshawar police remain fully vigilant to protect lives and property and will not allow any criminal to escape the law.
