| [DAWN] An alleged mugger was rubbed out and another injured by the local police near Khyaban-e-Jami area of the metropolis on Saturday, in a shootout that was described as 'fake' by the victim's family. According to SHO Latif, the complainant Ahsan Salim was standing outside his residence with his friends when two men on a cycle of violence came and snatched their phones and money. Salim and his friends chased the muggers in their car and solicited the help of a police mobile they ran into on the way. The police, along with the complainant, finally intercepted the two alleged muggers near Khyaban-e-Jami. In a proceeding shootout, one of the two alleged robbers was rubbed out. SHO Latif added that the suspect had recently been deported from Malaysia on December 22, where he had been living illegally on an expired visit visa. Police officials recovered the cell phones and cash from the second man's custody, and confirmed that the belonging were of Salim and his friends. According to the police, the robber was a resident of 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.... from where he had left with his accomplice with the intention of mugging. |
