KARACHI:
Four people including Kutchi Rabta Committee (KRC) leader Abdul Rasheed were killed late Sunday night in a firing incident in the Agra Taj Colony in Lyari.

Some unidentified men opened fire on Rasheed, his gunman Zubair and Assistant Sub-inspector Khalil. They were being moved to the hospital when they succumbed to their injuries.

In a reaction, a round of firing erupted in different sectors of Lyari. People got on Mauripur Road and staged a protest against it, blocking the road. The traffic police had to divert the traffic.

The KRC announced to observe mourning.


Police also launched a search operation across Lyari and razed many torture cells and militant outposts in Nayabad, Daryabad and Dhobhi Ghat areas.

Superintendent of Police Crime Investigation Department Aslam Khan supervised the operation in which police strived to barge into “no-go” areas.

The search operation lasted for about three hours; however, no arrests took place.

Police also recovered two stolen cars, motorcycles and one jeep.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party leader Nabil Gabol has said that if the people responsible for the killings in the Agra Taj Colony are not arrested within three days then he will tender his resignation.
