[DAWN] Two persons were killed and five, including one woman, injured in an incident of firing in the Baghdadi area 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....
on Tuesday evening, Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Adeel Hussain Chandio informed Dawn.
Local builder Rozie Khan Niazi's son, Raees Niazi, was at a hotel in Kalri when two gunnies, Mubeen and Fazal Dad, opened fire on him after his refusal to pay them bhatta (protection money), SSP Chandio said.
Four passersby also suffered gunshot wounds. The injured have been shifted to Civil Hospital, police said.
As Raees succumbed to his wounds, an outraged mob overwhelmed and killed Fazal Dad and injured Mubeen, the police officer added.
SSP Chandio stated that the attackers were from the Raja Pathan gang. Fazal's brother, Mustufa, had been killed last year in a police encounter. Deputy Inspector General Azad Khan said Raees had played a role in Mustufa's killing.
Inspector General Sindh A.D. Khowaja and Home Minister Sohail Anwar Siyal have taken notice of the incident. Directives have been issued for the timely arrest of all involved in the incident.
