72 Bandits Lay Down Arms in Sindh Under Surrender Policy 2025

The Sindh government’s Surrender Policy 2025 marked a major success on Tuesday as 72 bandits from the Kachha region surrendered to police at a ceremony held at Police Line Shikarpur.

The ceremony, attended by senior police and government officials, showcased dozens of modern weapons handed over by the bandits — including Kalashnikovs, rocket launchers, anti-aircraft guns, and other heavy arms.

According to officials, the combined bounty value of the surrendered bandits exceeded Rs 60 million.

Among the surrendered outlaws were several notorious figures long wanted by police:

·       Nisar Sabzoi — wanted in 82 cases, bounty of Rs 3 million

·       Lado Tighani — wanted in 93 cases, bounty of Rs 2 million

·       Sukhyo Tighani — wanted in 49 cases, bounty of Rs 6 million

·       Sonaro Tighani — wanted in 26 cases, bounty of Rs 6 million

·       Jumo Tighani — wanted in 24 cases, bounty of Rs 2 million

·       Milan alias Wahid Ali alias Wajo Tighani — wanted in 29 cases, bounty of Rs 3 million

·       Gulzar Bhoro Tighani — wanted in 14 cases, bounty of Rs 3 million

·       Ghulam Hussain alias Namo Tighani — bounty of Rs 3 million

·       Noor Din Tighani — wanted in 6 cases, bounty of Rs 1.5 million

⚖️ Government’s Message: “Peace Over Bloodshed”

Addressing the ceremony, Sindh Home Minister Zia Lanjar said the surrender marked a turning point in the province’s fight against organized crime.

“The police and Rangers were given a clear policy: bring peace to the area and convince bandits to lay down their arms,” he said. “Those who surrender will get a chance to become good citizens.”

Lanjar clarified that all those surrendering would still face the law, but the government’s goal was rehabilitation, not retribution.

“There will be no extrajudicial killings after today. Those who surrender will be treated according to the law,” he assured.

He also announced that the Sindh government aims to provide jobs, Benazir Income Support Program cards, education, and roads in the Kachha region to promote long-term peace.

🚓 Police: Situation Improving, Operations Continue

Sindh Inspector General of Police said that the law and order situation in Sindh’s Kachha areas is improving, though the Ghotki region remains uncleared.

He noted that “honey trap” operations against organized gangs, first launched in 2012, are still ongoing.

“This surrender is a positive step, but our mission for peace in Sindh will continue until every criminal network is dismantled,” he added.
