Another eight people were killed and three injured in separate incidents of violence in different localities of the city during the last 24-hours.
The police on Wednesday recovered bullet riddled bodies of five persons from various areas while unknown gunmen shot dead one person in Shah Faisal Colony, near Malir stream. Yet one more person whose identity has not been ascertained was killed in a firing incident in Saddar.
According to police sources, two bullet riddled bodies packed in gunny bags were recovered from PECHS Block 2, Ferozabad police station jurisdiction and near Hasho Centre Saddar, one from Garden near Water Hydrant, two from Tariq Road area and one from Soldier Bazar.
Three persons sustained injuries after unknown gunmen opened fire at them in Baldia Town No. 3 on late Tuesday night. Hundreds of citizens took to the streets against the firing incident and lack interest of police to nab the culprits. The protesting people chanted slogans against the police and demanded to suspend the SHO Baldia Town. They blamed that SHO was backing the criminal elements of Lyari Gang War. Heavy contingent of police and Rangers have been deployed in the area to avoid any untoward action.
Unabated firing was witnessed in different areas of the city creating panic and sense of insecurity among the residents in the affected areas.
The police said that all the bodies recovered from different localities were shot dead in identical manner and the gunny bags they were packed in also have similarity which reveals that the same group or criminal gang was behind these incidents.
