Karachi Crime Wave Robberies and Fatal Resistance
According to the Citizen-Police Liaison Committee (CPLC), the crimes include mobile phone snatching, motorcycle theft, and carjacking, with 4,298 mobile phones, 11,982 motorcycles, and 537 cars stolen or robbed between January 1 and March 31.
Other notable crimes reported in the city include four kidnappings and 24 extortion incidents in just one month. The CPLC report also mentioned the tragic consequences of these crimes, with 132 people losing their lives in various incidents, including 26 deaths during resistance to robbery.
The police’s performance in investigating these cases has been disappointing, with notified investigative officers failing to track down culprits. The specialized unit tasked with handling robbery cases also struggled to make an impact.
Earlier today, a man in Karachi was killed by robbers when he offered resistance to robbers in the Landhi area of the city.
A young man identified as 22-year-old Manzoor lost his life in a daring robbery attempt in Landhi’s Moeenabad, Karachi. According to police reports, three robbers attempted to snatch valuables from the victim and shot him when he resisted.
