KARACHI: Violence blamed on political and ethnic tensions in Karachi has killed 44 people in consecutive nights of bloody murders, officials said Thursday.
“We have received reports that another nine people have fallen victim to targeted killings overnight, in last 6 hours 8 killed in Orangi town including a 6 year old child, putting the death toll at 44 in three days,”
He said police were hunting those involved and had detained several suspects since Wednesday.
A security official said several neighbourhoods were still tense and sounds of intermittent gunfire could still be heard. Local residents complained they were virtually confined to their homes because of indiscriminate firing.
“Many people here had run out of their food stocks. There is no milk for children and no chance of patients being shifted to hospitals for treatment,” said Mohammad Asghar, a schoolteacher in the Orangi area.
According to me all what is happening is preplanned thats why no strong action is being implemented. In last three days most of the markets are shut down and they are listening burst of firing now and then just imagine what these people are going through? Police is just acting as spectators, but it is not so that police & army are incapable of stopping it, but they dont want to stop it because it is planned to destroy the peace in Karachi. God Bless Karachites.
