Karachi/IBNS: Enraged people in Pakistan’s Karachi city recently took law and order into their own hands and lynched a suspect on Monday, who shot a young man over resistance in the same Korangi area where a law student was killed one day ago for putting up resistance to bike snatchers.
People in the city are annoyed with the frequent killings of innocent citizens by armed muggers and the failure of law enforcement agencies to curb the menace of street crime.
Korangi SSP Sajid Amir Sadozai said two robbers tried to loot Faizan Qureshi, 34, in R-Area of Korangi-1. As he put up resistance, the robbers shot and injured him. People captured both the suspects and beat them severely before police arrival, Dawn News reported.
Police took the injured people to custody.
When they were taken to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, a doctor, who was on duty, pronounced one of them as dead.
The police identified the deceased as Irfan, 35, and his injured accomplice as Rashid Aslam, 24, reports Dawn News.
The injured citizen, Faizan, was shifted to Indus Hospital in Korangi where, according to the SSP, his condition is ‘stable.’
