The Civil Lines Police announced the arrest of former police inspector Abid Boxer in Kasur. According to a police statement, Abid Boxer is facing multiple charges across three different police stations.
Several cases have been registered against Abid Boxer, including charges of terrorism, blackmail, money laundering, and payment. The police have subsequently handed him over to the investigation wing for further scrutiny into the cases against him.
Abid Boxer was produced in the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC), where Judge Abhar Gul Khan, after a hearing, approved a seven-day physical custody for the ex-police inspector.
This arrest comes in the wake of recent revelations made by the Lahore Crime Investigation Agency (CIA), which claimed to have uncovered evidence of extortion and money laundering against Abid Boxer. The Lahore CIA investigators made substantial progress in their probe against the former inspector, revealing that he owned properties including plazas and flats worth billions. They also uncovered his involvement in extortion and money laundering activities.
The investigation disclosed that Abid Boxer apparently demanded extortion payments from various housing societies in Islamabad and Lahore, and investigators collected evidence to support these claims.
Moreover, it was revealed that Abid’s bank account was utilized for money laundering activities, and these transactions were apparently facilitated through Farooq Dar. The CIA compiled records of these bank transactions as part of their investigation.
Abid Boxer had been using a SIM card registered in his wife’s name, and the CIA Iqbal Town officials acquired his mobile data to further substantiate their case.
The Lahore police have expanded the scope of their investigation into the activities of the ex-inspector, and it is awaited that more arrests may follow in the coming days. The unfolding developments underscore the determination of law enforcement agencies to address criminal activities and bring those involved to justice.
