| [GEO.TV] At least 30 people got maimed by stray bullets and 65 people were arrested for gun sex on New Year's night across the metropolis after 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... echoed with the sound of bullets as soon as the clock ticked midnight despite the ban and warnings of arrest under charges of attempted murder, Geo News reported on Monday. Women and children are also among those who received bullet wounds. They were shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Dr Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi and Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medical treatment. Most of the firing incidents took place in the district central. Just a day ago, the Karachi police chief had warned the citizens that they would be charged with attempted murder for gun sex on the occasion of New Year's Eve. The firing incidents were reported in North Nazimabad, Liaquatabad C-I Area, Rizvia Society, Hussainabad, Bahadurabad, Shah Faisal Colony, Keamari, Native Jetty Bridge, Lyari, Ranchorr Line, Clifton Baldia Town, North Karachi, Sea View, Korangi, Dalmia, Gulshan-e-Iqbal 13-D, Lines Area, Mehmoodabad, PIB Colony, and Malir. A video of a woman firing a gun at a Malir farmhouse last night is also doing rounds on social media. A child was injured from a stray bullet in Korangi No 1 while four suspects were arrested in Keamari, Korangi and PIB Colony. Four people were maimed in 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.... Daryabad, Ranchorr Line, Dalmia and Clifton and two others got maimed in Gulshan 13-D area. 18 suspects were arrested from district central. Speaking exclusively to Geo News on December 31, Additional Inspector General Karachi Khadim Hussain Rind had said charges of attempted murder would be included in the cases lodged against those involved in gun sex on New Year's night. |
