A dramatic encounter took place near Chain Port when law enforcement agencies engaged in a tense clash with alleged robbers, resulting in the arrest of an injured suspect Asif Qureshi, son of Munawar. Officers seized a firearm, ammunition, and a motorcycle from the scene. Qureshi, who is battered with wounds, has been shifted to a medical center for treatment while authorities continue to investigate the incident.
In a separate incident in the New Karachi area, near Hafiz Ji Mazar in Sector 11-I, another clash between police and criminals resulted in the arrest of a suspect Abdul Qadir, son of Ayub. Despite Qadir’s arrest, his accomplice managed to evade capture. Similar to the first encounter, police recovered a pistol and live bullets from the scene. The injured suspect is currently receiving medical aid and a full investigation is underway.
These two incidents highlight the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in dealing with criminal activities in the districts of Karachi, where both Boat Basin and New Karachi police stations are actively involved in the investigation process.
