After kidnapping and torture of young men, violence erupts in Lyari
The situation in the neighbourhood turned violent after two young men belonging to Kutchi Rabta Committee (KRC) were kidnapped and tortured by the People's Aman Committee members. The youth were later released but were sprayed with bullets, which left one dead. The other, however, managed to escape.
The residents of Lyari came out to protest against the killing, which was followed by a clash between two armed groups.
More than 100 policemen along with Central Investigation Department Senior Superintendent (CID SSP) Chaudhry Aslam, are now present in the area, however no arrest has been made so far.
The residents of the area are restricted to their house and the shops have been closed.
