| [Pak Daily Times] Three people, including an activist of the All-Pakistain Muttahida Students Organisation (APMSO), were killed while at least 10 others were maimed in various firing incidents in the city over collection of hides during Eidul Azha. Kalri police informed that two people were killed and 10 injured near Niazi Chowk, Lyari, when armed gangsters opened fire on a group of people to snatch hides from them. Some armed members of the notorious Baba Ladla group turned up to seek hides of sacrificial animals from the Niazi community, who declined their demand, leading to an exchange of hot words between the two parties, police said. The men then opened fire on the community members and as a result, Fayyaz, son of Abdul Qadir, and Samiullah, son of Bashir, were killed on the spot while ten others including Waseem, Gul Khan, Raheel, Mohammad Khan, Ahmed, Tahir and Sohail were maimed. The culprits managed to escape with the hides from the scene, police said. Kalri SHO Yousuf Baloch said that onlookers said that Badshah Khan's two sons Faheem and Shakeel, along with Waseem, Shahid alias Darinda, Khadim Hussain, Abdul Basit and Saeed Bengali were involved in the incident. A heavy contingent of police and Rangers arrived on the scene to launch a search operation and cordoned off the area. However, The infamous However... no arrests have been made. In another incident, an APMSO activist was rubbed out and two others sustained injuries when unidentified gunnies opened fire on in Gulshan-e-Iqbal. |
