KARACHI:
Nine K-Electric staffers on Saturday fled from a court in Malir after their interim bail plea was rejected in a case where their negligence caused the amputation of an eight-year-old boy, Muhammad Umer’s, arms in Karachi.

The matter was taken up by the additional district and sessions judge Malir, who turned down a bail plea submitted by the accused. Consequently, the K-Electric employees managed to flee the court with the police failing to take them into custody.


The suspects include general manager for maintenance Riaz Ahmed Nizamani, deputy general manager Zameer Ahmed Sheikh, shift in-charge Imran Aslam, DGM Saqib Abbas, manager for maintenance Nisar Ahmed, supervisor Arsalan, shift in-charge Syed Shah Nawaz, assistant engineer Raza Hussain Rizvi and shift engineer Shaukat Mangi.
