By Faraz Khan

KARACHI: At least 10 more people, including three Muttahida Qaumi Movement activists, lost their lives on Sunday as violent events continued for the fourth consecutive day in the city, while the law enforcement agencies, which were issued shoot-at-sight orders by the federal government, failed to bring the situation under control.

The bloodshed - which started on Thursday after a decapitated body of a political worker was found from the Kalakot area - has hitherto claimed 38 lives.

Sunday’s casualties included discovery of a body in Eidgah police station limits. According to the police, Lyari Peace Committee’s Irfan Lahoti, 35, was kidnapped and later shot by unidentified culprits who then abandoned his body.

A youth was gunned down and his cousin injured in the same area. According to details, Zeeshan, 20, was killed and Rehan sustained bullets injuries near Old Haji Camp when the victims’ motorcycle was intercepted by unknown culprits who fired several rounds on them after confirming their identities. MQM sources disclosed that Zeeshan was an active member of the party’s Orangi Town sector whereas Rehan was a party supporter.

In another occurrence, an MQM sympathiser was gunned down in the Kalakot area after being kidnapped. According to the police, Mobin Sheikh’s body bore several torture marks.

Similarly, an MQM activist was shot dead in Khamosh Colony in Gulbahar police station limits. According to details, unidentified suspects riding two motorcycles opened fire on Syed Ikhlaq Ahmed, 35, when he was opening his teashop.

Two more people were gunned down in Korangi on Sunday evening. According to the Korangi Industrial Area Station House Officer Ismail Lashari, Rizwan Bhaggan Soomro, 27, and Saqib Hussain, 24, were sitting at a teashop near Nasir Colony Jump when unidentified culprits opened fire on them and escaped.

In another incident, Nisar Ahmed, 40, was killed when unidentified suspects opened fire on him when he was at his grocery store near Old CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) Centre in Saddar Town police station limits.

In Quaidabad, two torture-marked bodies were found in Shah Latif police station limits. According to the police, the victims were tortured to death by unidentified culprits.

Earlier, during the wee hours of Sunday, an owner of a puncture shop was murdered in Sarjani Town police station limits. According to the police, unknown suspects on a motorcycle shot Shahid Iqbal in the head.

Tension prevailed in most of the localities of Lyari Town, including Kalakot, Chakiwara, Baghdadi, and the surrounding areas of Garden, Pak Colony and Dhobi Ghat, which have so far witnessed the killings of 38 people in the last four days.

The abduction and killing incidents have spread terror and panic among the citizens, resulting in shutter down in several affected areas where people have been forced to limit themselves to their houses.

Shops and markets have also remained closed since the start of this latest series of violence. Incidents of aerial firings have also been reported from these areas.

It is pertinent to mention here that some people are still reported missing from different areas. It is feared that they might have been kidnapped and would later be killed and their bodies dumped.
