Ice and Cocaine Seized From House of PPP MNA and Ex-Health Minister’s Brother

Police claim to have confiscated over a kilogram of illicit substances, including the drug crystal methamphetamine, colloquially referred to as "ice," and cocaine, from a residential building in Karachi. The operation targeted a property associated with Azad Jakhrani, a brother of PPP lawmaker Aijaz Jakhrani. According to officials, the raid was triggered by information received from an individual who had been apprehended in possession of cocaine and ice.

The suspect reportedly identified Azad as the individual who owned the narcotics and suggested that additional quantities were stored within his residence. Police stated that Azad was not present at the scene during the operation and consequently could not be apprehended. An investigation has been initiated against him under narcotics legislation; however, the charges have not yet been proven in a court of law.

Aijaz Jakhrani expressed that he had severed ties with his brother but emphasized that the property in question was their familial residence. He accused the police of breaching the household's privacy during the search. The PPP lawmaker demanded an inquiry into the raid and called for accountability for any misconduct by law enforcement.

Faryal Talpur, chairperson of the Sindh Assembly’s Standing Committee on Home Affairs, took note of the incident at the Jakhrani House and requested a report from the provincial police chief.
