To the oldest locality of Pakistan's largest city, violence and illegal activities is not new. Lyari saw its first well known gangster back in 1960s. Gangs were typically involved in drug smuggling, bootlegging and other street crimes. The situation took a turn for the worse in the 1980s when weapons and arms began to enter Pakistan through the anti-soviet war in Afghanistan.
Two of the largest and widely known gangs of Lyari are Arshad Pappu's Gang and Rehman Daicait's Gang. They once used to be on the same side but a conflict over profits caused Rehman and Haji Lalu, Arshad Pappu's father, to split. This was a great setback for Lalu as Rehman took his supporters and contacts with him to form the Peoples Amn Committee in 2009.
