SIALKOT: Police during a crackdown on Monday arrested more than 350 kite flyers, sellers and buyers from Sialkot, Daska, Sambrial and Pasrur tehsils.

Police also recovered more than 3,000 kites and string. District’s 28 police stations have registered cases. The suspects have been sent behind the bars.

Police launched the crackdown on kite flyers in the wake of the death of 23-year-old youth Zubair who died after falling from the rooftop of his house while flying kites at Gojra on Saturday.
