Punjab Government Raises Bounty on Katcha Area Bandits to Rs. 10 Million

The Punjab government has significantly increased the bounty on notorious bandits operating in the Katcha area, raising the head money from Rs. 1 million to Rs. 10 million, according to a report by ARY News on Saturday.

The Punjab Home Department released the names, photographs, and corresponding bounty amounts for 20 of the most wanted bandits in the Katcha region. This decision comes in the wake of a recent deadly attack in Rahim Yar Khan’s Katcha area, where 12 policemen were killed and seven others injured after dacoits targeted two police vehicles.

Among those with bounties on their heads are Shahid Kamal, Mujeeb Amanullah, Wahab Amanullah, Ghani Ali Bux, Ahmar alias Shobi, Ahmed Rasool, Ataullah, Sabz Ali, Qabool Meva, Meera Huzoori, Darejan alias Dadu, Gora Hussain, Sanaullah, Tanvir, Rahib Shar, Umar Shar, Zahoor Akbar, Morzada, Gul Hassan, and Sadari Murad.

The provincial home department has urged the public to provide any secret information about these criminals via WhatsApp at 0333-4002653, ensuring the informant’s identity will be kept strictly confidential.
