He mentioned that city’s police force is busy in procol duties only and does not bother to catch the street criminals. Addressing the press on Thursday, Rahman emphasised that criminal elements freely operate in Karachi, leading to a significant loss of lives. The outgoing year witnessed 110 casualties due to violent crimes, with 817 reported bike snatchings and 4,396 other thefts in October alone.
