According to police sources, more than 60 criminal cases had been registered against him, and he had already been declared a proclaimed offender in four cases. He had been challaned in different courts across Gujrat, Mandi Bahauddin, Gujranwala, Jhelum, Sialkot, and Hafizabad. Shahid Pervaiz was the ringleader of an inter-district cattle theft gang and was also involved in armed robberies.

This operation was led by Inspector Shahid Hasnain Gondal, Incharge of Lalamusa Circle.
