Sindh CM Orders Arrest After Scavenger Boy's Death in North Karachi

The chief minister issued the directives while taking notice of the death of a scavenger boy, who a private security guard in North Karachi gunned down.

Sindh CM has ordered the authorities to arrest the culprit immediately and submit a report to him. He also expressed his sorrow and showed sympathy to the family members over the death of the boy.

Murad Ali Shah also directed the Home Department to inspect private security companies.

He said that the companies should also work on mental health and the development of security guards during and after the recruiting process. He said that arms should not be given to a person recruited as a new security guard.

The chief minister said that the criminal record of the guard should also be checked during the recruitment and deployment.

The Sir Syed police said that Samad, 17, a ragpicker, was shot at and wounded by guard Ramazan after a quarrel.

The teenager suffered a bullet wound in the abdomen and was taken to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where he died. The police said that the security guard managed to escape.

This is the second such incident in which a private security guard has killed a young man over a petty issue.

Earlier, a TikToker was gunned down by a guard at Sarina Mobile Market when he was making a video.
