Dacoits continue looting spree in Karachi, kill two citizens on resistance

KARACHI (92 News) - Dacoits continued to deprive the people of cash and valuables in several incidents in the city besides killing two citizens on resistance on Monday.

In Metroville Site area, two employees of a poultry farm were going to deposit the office cash when the dacoits intercepted and opened fire at them. They died instantly. Later, the dacoits decamped with Rs13.5 million.

Meanwhile, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Shah has taken notice of the incident and sought a report from the IGP. He ordered to suspend the Metroville Site SHO and arrest the dacoits immediately. He also ordered all SHOs to enhance patrol in their respective areas.

During the last three months, 55 citizens have been killed by the dacoits in the city.

In Gulshan-e-Maymar area, a dacoit was killed while another one was critically injured and arrested during an encounter. In Khayaban-e-Ittehad, a dacoit was arrested while looting people at a signal.

In Gulstan-e-Jauhar area, two bikers deprived two people of their valuables outside a showroom. In Lyari, a citizen was injured by dacoits for offering resistance.

On the other hand, the police have badly failed to rein in dacoits despite making tall claims about launching operations in the Katcha areas. Another citizen was kidnapped from Kandhkot Sabzi Mandi area, increasing the number of abductees to 16.

Sindh IGP Ghulam Nabi said that citizens also live in the Katcha area and they have to conduct intelligence-based operations there. "We will have to face the problems as we have conducted an operation in the area," he added.
