| [DAWN] Five suspected gangwar criminals were killed in two separate pre-dawn shootouts in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... 's Lyari ...one of the eighteen constituent towns of the city of Karachi. It is the smallest town by area in the city but also the most densely populated. Lyari has few schools, substandard hospitals, a poor water system, limited infrastructure, and broken roads. It is a stronghold of ruling Pakistan Peoples Party. Ubiquitous gang activity and a thriving narcotics industry make Lyari one of the most disturbed places in Karachi, which is really saying a lot.... Town on Saturday, Sindh Rangers claimed in a blurb issued today. According to the blurb, the Rangers in collaboration with police conducted a targeted operation in Lyari Town's Chakiwara area against criminals associated with the gangwar in the locality. When law enforcement personnel reached near the suspected criminals' hideout, they started indiscriminate firing and tried to escape. During the encounter, three of them were killed and few others managed to escape under the cover of darkness. Those killed have been identified as Majid alias Rickshaw Wala, Abdul Samad alias Mulla and Imam Bux alias Khairo. The three were reportedly associated with the Uzair Baloch group of Lyari gangwar, the Rangers said in the blurb. Meanwhile, ...back at the Alamo, Davy was counting their remaining cannon balls and not liking the results... another encounter took place during a separate joint operation in Lyari's Behar Colony area. Two suspected criminals Arslan alias Mulla and Junaid alias Kaka were killed during the encounter. Both were reportedly associated with the Baba Ladla group, a rival gang of the Uzair Baloch group. All five killed were reportedly involved in heinous crimes including, murders, kidnapping for ransom, robberies and extortion. |
