In addition, the report from the Chipa Foundation noted that three people have died in assault weight incidents over the past two weeks, and that more than 15 have been hurt since the start of the year.
Major outcry ensued as a result of Zaman Town’s two inhabitants being killed in less than a week. The second victim, Saahil Masih, was murdered during a robbery test, followed by Asif, who was killed at Ghaghar Phatak.
According to ARY News, Hafiz Muzafar was shot in another incident after raising concern after coming upon a robbery.
Despite these incidents, authorities in Malir and Korangi are yet to apprehend any defendants in these offences, according to ARY News, raising questions about the effectiveness of the state’s law enforcement.
One man was reported dying during the same time, and another has also been killed by airfire. Also, 11 people, including nine people and two ladies, sustained injuries from festive gunshot, a practice that continues to pose a grave threat to public health.
On Wednesday, a Karachi man was shot dead after he resisted a assault, ARY News reported.
Five robbers entered a home with the intention of committing a crime, according to Senior Superintendent of Police ( SSP) Korangi Kamran Khan. A young man who had come in to provide Fajr prayer raised an alarm as the pirates attempted to flee, catching their interest. The SSP said that in retaliation, the bandits fired at the children, resulting in fatal accidents.
A man was killed earlier in Karachi while he was attempting to rob a robbery attempt from his wheel store close to the government-Islamia Law school.
