The family of the late Karachi gangster Rehman Dakait (Sardar Abdul Rehman Baloch) remains primarily based in the Lyari neighborhood of Karachi, Pakistan. While interest in his personal life has recently surged due to his portrayal in the film Dhurandhar (2025) and its sequel (2026), his large family—consisting of three wives and approximately 13 to 17 children—follows divergent paths.
Rehman Dakait's Youngest Son Distances Himself From Underworld
Abdul Raheem, the youngest son of Rehman Dakait, is currently navigating his formative years as a student in Class 9, where he has begun to carve out an identity entirely distinct from his father’s notorious legacy. Rather than following a path of delinquency, Raheem has dedicated himself to the disciplined world of boxing, actively honing his skills in the ring with the professional ambition of competing on the global stage.
In several recent candid interviews with Pakistani media outlets, the young athlete has been vocal about his aspirations, emphasizing a profound desire to represent Pakistan in international sporting arenas. Raheem has openly stated that he possesses no actual memories of his father, which has allowed him to consciously distance himself from any lingering criminal influences.

How Was Rehman Dakait Killed?
Rehman Dakait, the infamous Lyari gang leader, met a violent end on August 9, 2009, during a highly controversial police encounter led by SSP Chaudhry Aslam Khan. While official reports claimed Dakait and three companions were killed in a shootout on Karachi's outskirts, autopsy findings suggested they were shot at close range, fueling widespread belief that the incident was a staged extrajudicial execution.
The news of his death triggered massive unrest and violent riots throughout the Lyari neighborhood. Dakait’s legacy lived on through his cousin, Uzair Baloch, who took control of the People’s Amn Committee (PAC). This transition ensured that despite Dakait's death, his organisation's influence over the region’s complex social and criminal landscape remained a dominant force for years to come.
