According to the police statement, a constable was found in possession of the actress’s car, another vehicle snatched from Ferozabad, an official weapon, and narcotics.

According to a police official, “after an encounter, Quetta police arrested one suspected member of the gang and recovered that vehicle from their possession.”

Rana Kashif, the constable who was arrested, allegedly admitted to taking twenty-plus cars from wealthy neighborhoods to sell them in Balochistan.
